Two-factor authentication - propagate across platforms?

I've read the docs here on 2FA, and I just want to check one detail. If I select site foo.com for 2FA (assuming it offers it), can I set it up on any of my devices, and expect it to sync to all...

Hello @TimInBC! 👋

If you use 1Password as your authenticator device when enabling two-factor authentication for a website/account then you'll be able to see your one-time passcode for that website/account on all of your devices. And 1Password automatically makes sure that you see the same items on all devices.

You can read more about using 1Password as your authenticator app here: Use 1Password as an authenticator for sites with two-factor authentication

If I misunderstood your question then please let me know. 🙂
