When I choose the "One-Time Password" option I'm not prompted to do anything to add the OTP. It just gives me a blank box to paste a URL...not the usual pop-up box to put over a QR coce. 1Pas...

Hey @aurelius:

We've been bouncing this around internally and have a few different ideas that might work to get your 2FA working for this service in 1Password.

Today's beta of 1Password 8 does now include a QR code scanner of what's currently on your screen for one-time password codes in the edit view, and with some workarounds, we can get this QR code to be scanned and added to your Login item.

If your Mac has a camera, try displaying the QR code from the service on your phone, and then opening Photo Booth, showing the QR code to your webcam so it displays in the Photo Booth preview, then selecting "add more" > "One-Time Password", then choosing the Scan QR Code button:

If your Mac doesn't have a camera, you can take a screenshot of the QR code from your phone, and add it to your 1Password account. After saving it to your 1Password account, you can preview the screenshot in Quick Look from 1Password on your Mac, and then follow the steps above to scan your screen.

Let me know how you get on with that!

Jack
