The one-time password code I receive is 8 numbers but the code I need should only be 6 numbers - how do I change it?

I installed Authenticator not getting codes. I can't login to Microsoft to try to fix the problem because I need two codes. I forgot that I had the App so there's nothing saved.

Hi, I am having trouble signing in to my work account which is he187495@redacted. I cannot use the code you send me or my pin to access at all. Can you please help me reset or unlock this account ASAP as I need it for work. Thanks Fiona
