When installing it is asking me for a 6 digit code from an authenticator app.  I have never head of this and have no idea what this is referring to.

I agree. I have no idea what this is, and when I scan the QR code it does nothing. I have no idea how I'm supposed to set this up.

I am trying to do the same thing.  What is the authenticator app?  How do I get access?

When setting up 2FA, a pop-up asks you to choose use of an app or text. The app is recommended and the description contains a link that says: "View suggested authenticator apps." When I click on it, I'm taken to this page "Multi-Factor Authentication Set Up for Your Account," which doesn't include info about suggested authenticator apps.

Yes I had the same problem, when I reached Help they had me download 'Duo Mobile' app and then I was able to access with that.
