Hello pmcarrion! 👋

Thanks for reaching out. Can you tell me a little more about why you'd need to see a QR code after saving a one-time password in 1Password?

It's usually the third-party site or app that you're looking to protect with a one-time password that would display the QR code so that you can scan the QR code using an authenticator app like 1Password. Once the one-time password is saved in 1Password you don't need to see the secret that the one-time password is based on in QR code form anymore.

Which service are you saving a one-time password for and why do you need to have 1Password generate a QR code of the TOTP secret for that one-time password?
