Authenticator app not giving verification code for blooom app login

I try to login to my blooom account (on iphone app and on computer using Edge). My username and password are accepted, then a third text box appears requesting the verification code from my authenticator app. Usually I will then get a notification on my phone from the Microsoft Authenticator app with a verification code. However today I am not getting any notification. I checked all my notification settings are on for both Authenticator and blooom, but I get no verification code. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Authenticator app, and still have the same issue.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled the Authenticator app

    You can restore from backup (assuming there was one) but make sure no accounts have been added to the newly install app. Then sign on with recovery account to do the restore.

    You can recover your account credentials from your cloud account, but you must first make sure that the account you're recovering doesn't exist in the Microsoft Authenticator app. For example, if you're recovering your personal Microsoft account, you must make sure you don't have a personal Microsoft account already set up in the authenticator app. This check is important so we can be sure we're not overwriting or erasing an existing account by mistake.
