2FA - would like ability to paste secret instead of using QR code

The ability to add 2FA secret by scanning QR code is pretty nifty. Is there the ability to "can't do QR code", use secret key? I have most of my 2FA in Authy and would like to import them into 1P by adding the secret key instead of doing the 2FA process all over again.

  • Gotcha, and may thanks for the followup. I would agree with that assessment.

    1P_Tommy yes, that's the docs I was reading to find out if there was a way to do this. I think most people use QR codes and only advanced techies would do the secret route.

    Ah, I see. Super. I suggest perhaps having an addition to the documentation that highlights this ability. Thanks!

    Hey there @OnePassUser

    You can paste in the TOTP secret into the one-time password field, like this:

    To add the one-time password field, click the "+ add more" button, then "One-Time Password".

    Hope that helps! :)
