How to set up 2FA without a QR code on Windows?

Hi! I found this discussion (https://1password.community/discussion/126668/feature-request-add-modify-2fa-without-qr-code) saying we can add 2FA to a login with just the secret key in the Windows app. I was trying to do so but the app only showed me the button to scan a QR code (the other one is to ignore the promo). Is it a hidden option or I just didn't do it right?

    Hi @Taiyou:

    Great question! To add a one-time password to a Login item without having the QR code available, edit the item in 1Password for Windows, then add the secret to a One Time Password field. It should look a bit like this:

    Let me know how you get on with that!
