The standard used is 6–digit. If you were ever able to set up a new TOTP with your authenticator, it had to give you 6–digit code back to enroll it, otherwise the pairing wouldn't succeed.

If you have a preference in your authenticator to use standard 6–digit codes (instead of potentially private/enterprise 8–digits for some of your other use–cases?), you'd need to follow the documentation for your authenticator.
