iOS Set up verification codes using 1Password

I was wondering how use the Set up verification codes using 1Password. In the Passwort Options I selected 1 Password. But what now? Where and how would the prompt for TOTP Code be used?...

Hey there ogamingSCV

If you open the Camera app and point it at a QR code containing a two-factor authentication secret, you'll get the option to open 1Password and choose an item.

I wrote up how this works here with a couple of screenshots: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/678271/#Comment_678271

It's just another way to get that two-factor authentication secret into 1Password, and it doesn't replace any of the existing methods:

  • clicking 1Password in the toolbar of your browser, then ⋮ > Scan QR code
  • clicking the scanner button in the one-time password field of an item in the main 1Password app
  • manually copying and pasting the secret (as text) into the one-time password field in the main 1Password app

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions. :)
