5 years agoHow do I create a new one-time password from a QR Code in 1Password 8?
In 1Password 7, I can scan a QR Code to generate an OTP. That seems missing in 1Password 8.
When can I expect this functionality to return?
1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.5.0 (80500017)
Extension Version: 2.1.4
OS Version: macOS 12.0.1 (21A559)

Hey @papalimahotel !
You have to switch to the beta release. It is not implemented in the stable release, yet. ;)

Just switched to v8.4.1 (from v7.9). I do not get that icon showing in my new OTP fields. Is there some setting controlling appearance?

Hey folks - thought you all might want to know about this:
QR code scanning has arrived in the latest 1Password 8 Beta release

Me too viswiz, I hope our developers will be able to add it back soon :+1: In the meantime, I hope that the workaround with the browser extension will help you too :)

I miss this feature within 1Password 8 as well.

I think that is because the QR code scanning feature has not been implemented in 1Password 8 yet, it will be back once our developers have had the chance to add it :+1:

Ah ha! Why is the button to access that menu item missing from the OTP field? That's extremely hidden ā and it was there before!
