I am trying to setup 2fa on my devices. Do I need to install authy on my iMac or just my phone?

I am having issues installing authy on my new mini mac with m1 chip. I do not have webcam to take picture of the QR code but do I really need it on my mac if I have my phone with authy?? Thanks ...

You can use 1Password as your authenticator app for two-factor authentication by following the steps in this guide: Use 1Password as an authenticator for sites with two-factor authentication

The site doesn't have to be listed on 2fa.directory, it just needs to support the TOTP standard and offer a QR code that you can scan using 1Password. Let me know if you run into any issues. 🙂
