Trying to set up MFA with LinkedIn but it does not use a QR code

The title sums it up. I did not see a way to enter the secret key that LinkedIn provided me when trying to set up MFA. I could not find a way for it generate a QR code.

    Hi tSpRwc55! Since LinkedIn is providing a key instead of a QR code, you can follow the steps below to enter it manually:

    1. Locate your login item, and Edit it.
    2. Click + add more towards the bottom of the item.
    3. Choose One-Time Password from the menu that appears.
    4. Copy and paste the key from the website into this new field in the item, and save it.

    I hope this helps, but if you have any further questions, let me know!
