Login QR Code Content

Hi 1Password Team,

I'd like to request a small change to the login via QR experience that should improve UX by quite a bit: the data presented in the login QR should contain 1Password-specific URL information that allows the user to initiate login by simply scanning the code itself rather than opening the 1Password app and choosing the QR Code option.

 

To expand on this a bit, here's what's presented in the 1Password login QR code (data obfuscated obviously)

When scanning this QR code, any phone will attempt to search Google for this long random string. This is obviously not ideal. For a better UX example, look at the data contained in Steam or Discord's login QR codes:

Would it be possible for the 1Password QR code to be updated to more closely match this functionality? Even presenting the data in the format of a custom URL scheme (as below) would be more helpful, as users with the app installed would still be prompted to open the link in 1Password via normal QR scanners.

Is there a plan for this functionality in the future?
