Can 1Password be used as a replacement for Authy?
Can't find anything that says 1P supports 2FA token management but thought I'd ask. Hoping you guys are working on this. I have a new Apple Watch and cannot get the Authy Apple Watch app to sync accounts. It's never given me a problem before. The lack of at least community support is pissing me off. I use 1P for all other password management. Just to be clear, I'm just looking for the ability to scan a QR code, store the account/website info in 1P, and have 1P show me the time sync'd, one time passcode when I need it.
1P Works flawlessly on my Apple Watch!

Hi @Piggy!
Yes, 1Password can be used as an authenticator app too :+1:
Use 1Password as an authenticator for sites with two-factor authentication

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS??! I've been a 1P customer since the beginning!
I just tried this with one of my accounts - it works brilliantly! I love how it automatically copies the the OTP to the clipboard! Update your google search stuff so that results for Authy, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, one-time password and OTP include 1Password. Also may I suggest screenshots and other verbiage on your website to highlight this feature. It did not jump out at me when I searched/looked for solutions to replace Authy.
I will be migrating all my OTP QR accounts to 1P! One suggestion - option in 1P to automatically include any account with a OTP password on the Apple Watch so that someone with a many doesn't have to update each one to show on the watch. Just a convenient feature. :-)
YOU FOLKS ARE THE BEST!! BRILLANT!

Is this good security hygiene to store both your password and your second factor in the same password manager? As much as I love the convenience of this, I'm wondering if 2FA is made weaker by doing this in 1Password.

That's a good question! You can read a discussion about that here:
