Where did the QR code scanner go in 1password 8?

First, I did find (or believe to be) that is scans the screen. But this only works if its on the same screen. I have 3 monitors like other might have one or more attached to their computer.

The app just kept saying "OR code detection failed." when I was expecting a window. I assumed that it had something to do with no restarting the app after enabling screen recording and relaunched and re-enable a combined time of 6 times. I eventually used the browser extension, which worked and why I believe it scans the whole screen. But maybe I am wrong. Confusing if you are coming from 1password 7.

It would be nice if it said, "OR code detection failed. Try scanning manually Yes/no" or something along those lines.

Also finally fix being able to scan on fullscreen window while your at it.

Or maybe could use your phones camera?

Hi @thedzy:

1Password 8 for Mac does scan all active monitors, rather than being a draggable window. Was this a single site where you ran into trouble with using the desktop app to scan the QR code, or did this happen on multiple sites? Let me know!
