One-Time Password not working on beta

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 Jack, appreciate you bouncing this around! I'm very excited about this update, this is a critical step forward for the Beta. Thanks for adding it! I was able to get the QR code added using the method you outlined above on the latest version.

I would like to suggest that you guys keep refining the OTP functionality ... the steps to add an MFA / 2Factor code in the desktop app are still not entirely intuitive:
1. click "add more"
2. click "one-time password"
3. click the little QR code icon

I've been trying to encourage my non-techie family (who already use 1Password) to move away from Google Authenticator and use 1Password instead. Sadly, for most of them, the steps above are too complicated and they give up. It would be great if there were a quicker option to add a OTP/MFA similar to Google Authenticator/Authy. Kind of like you have in the browser example above, but for the desktop app.

Just a suggestion!

Thanks for all you guys do.
