The sync code has only 12 characters available, however the sync code provided to me has 26 characters. I am very confused as to what characters I use to sync my devices.

There are two keys.
One is the 26 character Sync key that is used to encrypt your data before uploading.
The other is the 12 character key that is used to setup another device more easily.

If you want to use the Sync key then click the link at the bottom "I don't have the device with me"and enter all needed data manually.
