Hi @pupeno

You can manually paste the TOTP secret (but not the whole URL) into the one-time password field in the item. The secret is generally 16 characters long.

If you don't see a one-time password field, you can add one by clicking "+ add more", then One-Time Password.

You'll need to do this from the main 1Password app. 1Password in the browser can scan QR codes, as you've found, but if you click Edit on an item, it'll open it in the main 1Password window.

Hope that helps! :)
