1Password thinks site has 2FA but it doesn't

I have a Guild Wars 2 account, and the web page login for that is at arena.net:
https://account.arena.net/login
They offer 2FA, and I have no problem using it there with 1Password. The instructions for setting up 2FA on arena.net are on guildwars2.com:
https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/230672927

ArenaNet's official wiki for Guild Wars 2 is at a separate web page with separate accounts:
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Main_Page
Its login page is at:
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Main+Page
Logging in with an arena.net account there does not work; you set up a separate account with a different password there.

The wiki site doesn't have 2FA, but 1Password gives it the "Two-Factor Authenication Available" banner, and when I click on the "Learn how to enable two-factor authentication" link in that banner, it takes me to the 2FA instructions for arena.net, which does not apply to the wiki site.

I know I can click the "Don't save in 1Password" button on the wiki site's "Two-Factor Authentication Available" banner to remove the warning, but this flags the account with the "2FA" tag, which incorrectly includes it in the list of sites that do have 2FA.

    Hey @uluqat ,
    We're using a public database for websites that have 2FA, and their listings are out of our control: https://twofactorauth.org/

    In your case, adding the "2FA" tag to the item would be the right thing to do as it disables that banner if it bothers you. The other option is to just ignore the banner :)
