Mozilla firefox asks for a 6 digit authenticator code to sync my data and passwords, but the microsoft authenticator generates an 8 digit code?
I have a new iphone 17 and the Firefox app doesn't have any of my passwords from my online account. on the iphone Mozilla firefox asks for a 6 digit authenticator code to sync my data and passwords, but the microsoft authenticator generates an 8 digit code? I've tried scanning the QR code on my desktop web mozilla firefox account but it then asks me to enter the 6 digit code from authenticator, but I'm getting an 8 digit code from microsoft autheticator. I really need to sync my passwords from Firefox web account to my iphone firefox app.

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.
