I'm somewhat confused here. The only 8-digit codes I know of for Google accounts are the backup codes for 2-step authentication which seems to be what you are using since you mention the Authenticator app. I've never used it but it seems that one can use it for multiple accounts, not just tied to one.
Perhaps you can send us a screen clip of the page that's asking for the code. Please do use a sensible subject line when you post here.
