What do I do if I did not save QR code after initiating two-factor authentication?

I just set up two-factor authentication with 1Password for the first time. I scanned the code, entered the one-time code. But I didn't save the QR code. How can I recover it, or is it best to cancel...

On the phone assuming you were using password autofill for the app, double-tap into the TOTP field and use the paste option. I'd also head over to Settings > Notifications and make sure you enable TOTP notifications. When you fill an app the TOTP will be auto copied to the pasteboard and ready for you to fill. The reason for the copy/paste with the notification is that password autofill can only fill the username and password the TOTP notification was added as a way to help folks fill the codes.
