Microsoft leaves mitigation of this known and quite powerful phishing vector behind additional licensing requirements. You cannot reliably block Microsoft Entra device code flow without Entra ID Premium P1.

You should try MS Copilot which uses open source Python libraries to interact with Office file formats.

The libraries themselves are OK, but MS uses them stupidly. If you want to fill out some form in DOCX or XSLX format you will get broken formatting. And this is from Office company.

I'm trying paid tier Gemini and it doesn't allow to keep have personal chat history when you disable training on your data, on reload of the page your chat is gone. Even free tier of ChatGPT allows disabling training on your data while allowing to keep such basic functionality.

Some technical advancements are not worth it if you do not respect your users.
