I am not able to find any key symbol the key symbol in my account.

Answer 2

Hi @Ritika Pundhir , copying my colleague's answer from this thread:

I believe you are seeing the 8-digit code on your Authenticator App because the Passwordless signing is enabled for your Microsoft account (personal Microsoft account). You can identify the same by looking for a key symbol listed on the top of your account in the Authenticator App profile.

I would suggest you to take a look at the steps mentioned here and see if this helps: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c04a9e6c-9bd0-43b2-80f9-2399242b3f92/microsoft-authenticator-app-gives-8-digit-code-instead-of-required-6-for-azure?forum=ApplicationInsights#:~:text=You%20should%20have%20setup%20a,provide%20you%208%20digit%20codes.&text=Two%20step%20verification%20provides%206%20digit%20codes.

Please let me know if this doesn't work and I can help you further. If this answer helped you, please mark it as "Verified" so other users may reference it.
