Setting up authentication on a second phone
I have setup 2-factor authentication for 1 Password in Microsoft Authenticator on my iPhone. It works OK. I now want to setup 2-factor authentication in Microsoft Authenticator on my wife’s iPhone...

Thank you for the question! I understand that you'd like to save your 2FA one-time password for your 1Password account in the Microsoft Authenticator app on both your phone and your wife's phone. You do so by following these steps:
- Log in to your 1Password account on 1Password.com (in the browser, not the app).
- Select your name in the top right, then select Manage Account.
- Select More Actions > Manage Two-Factor Authentication.
- Click Turn Off Two-Factor Authentication.
- Delete the one-time password from Microsoft Authenticator.
- Follow the steps to turn two-factor authentication back on but this time scan the same QR code using the Microsoft Authenticator app on both your phone and your wife's phone to add the same one-time password to both apps.
I hope that helps.
