Scan QR code greyed out on mac

I have had similar problems recently (past 3 months).  The QR Scanner button on the one-time password field used to properly capture a QR Code that was visible on the screen of my MacOS Sequoia (15.6.1)....however, recently, nothing happens when I try to capture the QR code.

Previously, 1Password would even show a brief message if the QR Code could not be detected, but this message is not displayed either.  When I press on the button, nothing happens anymore.

I have tried quitting 1Password and re-opening, turning off the system setting (shown below) and restarting 1Password and also restarting the computer.  Nothing has helped.

Of course, I could use 1Password on my phone and capture the QR code in the 1Password iPhone app (as mentioned in the marked solution), but these are extra steps I prefer not to have to do.  It was nice when it was integrated and working on the computer alone.

I guess I will have to use the workaround until the Production version comes out since I am a little nervous about switching back and forth between beta and Production versions.

Current version of 1Password:  8.11.8

Below are a couple of screen shots.
