Adding 2FA by One-Time Password

So I found out you can add 2FA keys on the Mac as well, using the One-Time Password field. Why isn't this shown in the Chrome/Mac app? On both, nobody will use their webcam to scan the printed QR cod...

Hello @marijnbent! 👋

Thank you for writing in! The QR code scanner in both the desktop app and the browser extension allow you to scan a QR code that is displayed on your screen, there's no need to use a webcam.

Alternatively you can add the TOTP secret itself manually by typing it in if you're not seeing the QR code on the website. You can learn more here:

Let me know if you have any questions.
