Does not support 8 digits codes

Can you add support for 8 Digits OTP codes?

6 digits is the most common use Ok - but 8 is frequently preferred when strong security is required.
The OATH internal code is the same in both - just a minor adjustment is required to support 8 digits.
Is is planned in a near future in the roadmap?

Yes, please add 8 digit code support. Those of us wanting to use Google Authenticator in more secure/enterprise environments are limited due to this.

Thanks!

I agree. An example service that uses 8 digits is Battle.net, be easier to have one app.
