This is what worked for me after countless hours of pulling out hair... when trying to get the MS Authenticator app to give me a 6 digit code on iPhone 14 pro

If you have the account already on MS Authenticator then remove it!

1. Goto your MS account https://account.microsoft.com/
2. Scroll down until you find "Security", expand the section and find and click the link "Additional security options".
3. A little way down the page click the link "Add a new way to sign in or verify".
4. Select "Use an app" from the popup dialog.
5. click the link in the body text "set up a different Authenticator app." and you will be presented with a QR code
6. Open the MS Authenticator app on your phone
   1. click the "+" to add an account, then click "Other (Google, Facebook, etc)
   2. Scan the QR code.
