This problem got worse. Authenticator does not notify me on the phone when I get a two digit code from the computer and will not let me enter a code. I am using the same email. I have never seen a six digit code. There is no option in the settings for app updates? The apple app store has no newer update. I have tried uninstalling both teams and the authenticator from the phone and removing the accounts but it does nothing. When I re add my account on Authenticator, put in the email and password, it gives me a two digit code to enter in the Authenticator app… I’m already in the app and don’t get the choice to put in a code.
Can’t input code on authenticator app
The authenticator app is broken. When I try to set up my work account on teams or outlook on my new phone it automatically opens the authenticator app to give me a two digit code. The problem is that since the authenticator app is already open I cannot input the code and I get no notifications of a sign in attempt to enter said two digit code. If I push the “can’t use authenticator app right now” button I get the option to input a six digit code of which I never got. It’s an endless loop of putting my email into teams or outlook which immediately opens authenticator to give me a code I can’t input.

2024-04-01T15:20:47+00:00 I called my company IT department and they were able to solve the problem. My old phone was still the registered phone for the Authenticator and by removing it I was able to add a new sign in method, scan a QR code, and receive notifications on my new phone.
