Hi @peawee!

Is 1Password the authenticator for these 3 items, or are you using a separate app (such as Google Authenticator)?

Hi @ag_ana !

Yubikey Auth is the Authenticator i did use google and microsoft but neither had a password function , but the yubikey one has so i have to put a password in and press the contact points to see the codes. Hope this helps. P.s how does 1p authenticate the 2fa codes ?

thank you Ag_ana

@peawee:

Thank you for the confirmation. If you are not using 1Password as your authenticator app, it cannot know if you have enabled 2FA for those websites or not. In these cases, you have to tell it yourself, by adding the 2fa tag to these items ;)

You can see how to use 1Password as your authenticator app here:

Use 1Password as an authenticator for sites with two-factor authentication
