Can I enter the key instead of scanning a QR for setting up MFA with 1Password?

I keep getting an QR Code Detection Failed. I have the key I could enter manually but I can't seem to figure out how to do that. Thanks 1Password Version: Not Provided Extension Version:...

If you don't see a QR code to scan, you can follow Gem's second set of steps instead:

  1. Locate your login item, and Edit it.
  2. Click + add more towards the bottom of the item.
  3. Choose One-Time Password from the menu that appears.
  4. Copy and paste the key from the website into this new field in the item, and save it.

Give it a try and let me know how you get on. We'll be here if you need any further help.
