MySignins only shows MFA app as Microsoft Authenticator

In case of generic user mailboxes used as shared mailboxes we would like to implement MFA.

The problem is that the apps get saved with the same generic name "Microsoft Authenticator" and with more apps, we can't differentiate which app is related to which user.

Is there a way to force the app to save the device name there? Or pre-config the App to do so? Previously I remember that it saved my device name, was this changed or something else affects this?

    Seems I just needed to wait.
    While there was only one app there, it didn't have a name shown.
    After I registered the second app both of them were missing the name.

    But after waiting for 30minutes and doing a logoff/logon it appeared!
    The first app was also registered in the past 60 minutes.
    Not sure what's the logic behind it, but could you comment on this and confirm that this is expected?
