Switch existing desktop 2FA from an authenticator app to 1Password

I want to try switching my desktop 2FA from an authenticator app to 1Password. Since I already have 2FA set up on numerous sites, I'm already past the point of scanning QR codes and one-time password...

Thank you for the feedback. I agree that saving a one-time password can be confusing since different websites will offer different implementations. Just to clarify, are you running into issues when using the browser extension to scan the QR code for 2FA on certain websites? As mentioned earlier, we have the process documented here with an animation: Use 1Password as an authenticator for sites with two-factor authentication

What websites aren't working when you use the browser extension, and the steps in that guide to save a one-time password in 1Password? I can file issues with our development team to have those issues fixed.
