Hello chazzunokuthunuchtec​! 👋

Thanks for the question! You can save a one-time password in 1Password by setting 1Password as the authenticator app on your iPhone:

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap General, then tap AutoFill & Passwords.
  3. Choose 1Password in the Set Up Codes In section.


Then, when you see a QR code for two-factor authentication on a website, tap and hold on the QR code. You should see a Add Verification Code in "1Password" option appear. 

Let me know if you run into any issues.
