All attempts to finalize Authenticator app setup fail

I have tried every - every - recommended help from Microsoft to finish setup of the Authenticator app. I have created a "Personal Account" in the app by using my Microsoft account email. Then every time I click on that account email I get a numeric password code and I have no idea what to do with it. I need to use the Authenticator app QR code reader to set up the Your Phone Companion sync with my Windows PC. So, how do I finish setting up the Microsoft Authenticator app with the mysterious password code? It would be most excellent if I could actually use the Authenticator app.
