Up until a few months ago, MS Authenticator generated three 2-digt codes. Now it's generating one 8 digit code. But the apps I have associated with my Authenticator are still asking me to select a two digit code. How do I fix this?

A couple of folks have reported the same issue but I think this is not progressive. It should be transient
