This is called 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication). This is a website issue. You might be able to shut this down in your profile on that site. Have you contacted the website's support on this?

If this is about 2FA used with the Firefox Sync account then you can disable 2FA via the Firefox Account Settings page.

For other websites that use 2FA this should be similar.

You can also possibly generate new recovery codes or save a copy of the 2FA QR code or its decoded otpauth:// link to be able to reinitialize the authenticator app.

If you only have two recovery codes left then you should hurry.
