Microsoft recently changed this to improve security (announced in the M365 Message Center or you can have a look at this blog post). In short, it's a security improvement which prevents inadvertently selecting the correct number if there's a fraudulent/malicious sign-in.
MS Authenticator asking to enter code

Myself and one other person with an iphone today noticed that the app now asks you to ENTER the number instead of selecting it from a list. While this is not that big of a change, I am getting questions from all over the company about it, because it is an unexpected security change.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?

2021-10-10T08:52:31.227+00:00 I’ve got the same issue. Everyone is wondering why that changed. Is this related to any policy that got applied to our tenant? Or some other M365 setting? Or just a feature Update of the Authenticator app for iOS?
