Azure wants 6 digits code but Authenticator generates 8 digits Details

I'm trying to login into my Azure account but it wants a 6-digit code from Microsoft Authenticator but Authenticator generates a 8-digit code.

I tried to remove my account from Authenticator, remove and create password, turn on and off 2-factor authentication but nothing worked. I still can't login to Azure.

I can login everywhere else like Outlook, Microsoft 365 Copilot but not Azure.

I want to create a support ticket but even for that it wants me to login to Azure but I can't.

What am I going to do?
