Authenticator never works

Authenticator never works on my Android. Microsoft still insists on asking for password, even though I set a pin a couple of days. When using <other ways to sign>, eg. via a Gmail address verification, it goes into a loop again, with the same useless sequence of steps. I get a 6-digit from the email but Authenticator wants me to pick a given 2-digit code but such options don't appear.

This is very frustrating. I am constantly having to reset my password every time I try to do something.

    Hello Ed,

    Can you verify via https://aka.ms/mfasetup the authentication methods available on your account?
