It sounds like you might be getting confused between having two-factor authentication turned on for your 1Password account and using 1Password to generate one-time passwords for other services.
- Turn on two-factor authentication for your 1Password account
- Use 1Password as an authenticator for sites with two-factor authentication
It sounds like you have two-factor authentication turned on for your 1Password account, using Microsoft Authenticator. If so, you should enter a one-time password (6-digit number) produced by Microsoft Authenticator when prompted as you sign in to your 1Password account on your iPad.
Using two-factor authentication for your 1Password account applies to your account, not to individual devices, so you don't need to set it up again for your iPad.
I hope that answers your question fully, but please do let me know if I can be of any further help. :)
