Setting up 1password on iPad with no NFC

I am having difficulty setting up 1password on my iPad. I keep getting "Use Security Key, to continue with 1password insert and activate one of your security keys"

  • Hi LionelM​,

    It sounds like you've set up a security key as a method of two-factor authentication for a 1Password account. If you're unable to use that security key on your iPad, I'd recommend also setting up an authenticator app as an additional factor. This will let you enter the one-time passcode generated in the app instead of using your security key when signing in on your iPad. You can read about how to do so in the link below.

    Turn on two-factor authentication for your 1Password account

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    If you have another device you can just 'scan' the QR code from that device with your camera? You shouldn't necessarily need NFC? And/or just type in your e-mail, secret key and password? (But your question is very limited to which problem you actually seem to have)
