To use 1Password to generate one-time passwords for other websites or apps, you can add two-factor authentication to your 1Password items: Use 1Password as an authenticator for sites with two-factor authentication
Both of these can be done from 1Password on your computer.
⚠️ If you're setting up two-factor authentication for your 1Password account, you should use another authenticator app to generate the one-time passwords for your 1Password account:

Please let me know if you have any questions, or would like any further help setting up either of those. :)
