I was trying to login in one of my company website using my Microsoft Account. After i gave credential and password it is asking for authentication code which is showing in my authentication app in my phone. I am seeing 8 digits code Microsoft authentication app in my phone, but in Microsoft authentication page it is accepting only 6 digits.

Why is like this? and please give a resolution for this.

    If that doesn’t help resolve your issue, please try to post a new one in our Q&A forum and select the "Microsoft Authenticator" tag. Then wait for the related support engineer involve in this issue.
