I switched phones and now my Authenticator app is working backwards. My phone is giving me a 2 digit code but I’m trying to sign in from my computer not the app. It’s lap not showing all the sign in options I used to have.

When I downloaded the Authenticator app to my new iPhone (from android) I added my work account but when I signed in it showed me a 2 digit code as if I was trying to sign in from there. However, I need the computer to have the code so I can put it into my phone to sign into my computer. I’m not sure how to change this? My old phone app still works properly but I need it on my new phone.
