QR code scanning isn't functioning in 1Password for Mac
Hi, I thought that unassigning/re-assigning screen recording permissions would resolve the QR scanning feature not functioning properly. I have tried the basic troubleshooting otherwise ... updating ...
So I was having the same issue here, but after some tinkering I got it to work. Initially I was trying to input the qr code from the app while having the qr open in browser. I kept getting the same message as everyone else "QR detection failed".
What worked for me was to have the extension on your browser which then enables you to scan for qr code in the actual browser.
Seems the disconnect is that it's unable to scan outside of its screen/browser.
Extension > item you're working with > three dots > edit > add field > one time pw > back to extension > three dots > scan qr code
Hope this helps some others
