I'm sorry that Instagram isn't accepting your saved one-time password. I just tried adding 1Password as an authenticator app to my Instagram account and everything worked properly. Could you try again using these steps in Chrome on your Mac:
- On Instagram's website, remove 1Password as a "Connected device" on the Authentication app page.
- Open 1Password for Mac.
- Click your Login item item for Instagram and click Edit.
- Remove any one-time passwords that you see. Scroll down and make sure that there isn't a second one-time password, if there is then remove that as well. Then Save the item.
- Go back to Chrome and follow the steps on Instagram's website to add an authenticator app until you see the QR code.
- Click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar.
- Make sure that your Login item for Instagram is selected, click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the item and then click Scan QR Code. Wait until you see "Copied one-time password" in the 1Password pop-up.
- Click Next on Instagram's website.
- When you're prompted for the one-time password, click the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar. Make sure that Instagram is selected then click Autofill. This will fill the proper one-time password into Instagram. Don't try to paste the one-time password.
Click Next on Instagram's website to finish adding the authenticator app. Let me know if any of these steps don't work.
