I was trying to set up two-factor authentication for Instagram in 1Password

Instagram setup gave me the choice of authenticator but seems to assume I am using Apple Passwords In 1Pw I started setting up 2FA and 1Pw asked to scan a code. Instagram only gave a key, not a code. How do I resolve this?

1Password Version: 8.10.3
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 13.2.1

    Hi dogolaca, if Instagram only provides a key, then you would have to add 2fa to your Instagram login via the 1Password app:

    1. Open and unlock 1Password.
    2. Select the Login item for Instragram, then click Edit.
    3. Click Add More, then choose One-Time Password.
    4. You may need to scroll down to see these options.
    5. Copy and paste the key provided by Instagram into the One-Time Password field.
    6. Click Save.
