2 years agoThanks for the reply. Just to confirm: did you remove both of the one-time password from your Login item for Instagram in 1Password before trying the steps again?
Is there a way I can enter the seed from IG into the 1P OTP generator? Perhaps the issue is the QR code scanner is incorrect.
Yes, you can using the 1Password for Mac desktop app: Use 1Password as an authenticator for sites with two-factor authentication
When following the steps in the linked article, you can enter the seed from Instagram at step 4. Make sure that no one-time passwords are saved in 1Password before trying this. Let me know if that doesn't work and I can help further. 🙂
