in 1Password 4 for Windows

I was setting up OTP for Dropbox in 1Password for Windows. Can anyone please provide a link that shows how to set it up. Also, tried using a guide for MAC OS but was not able to find a QR code scanner in my Windows version.

1Password Version: 4.5.0.575
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 8.1
Sync Type: Not Provided

    Hi @Newbie101,

    There is no QR code scanner at the moment for the Windows version. Instead, use the secret key that Dropbox will give instead of the QR code:

    Here's how it works for storing the secret key into 1Password:

    1. Open the main program, unlock, and go to the Logins to locate the Dropbox item to edit
    2. Click on the Add button on the bottom left to select One-Time Password
    3. Paste the secret key into the One-Time Password field and save it.

    After that, you should see the digits along with its timer. Press Next on the Dropbox site to give it the digits you see in 1Password now and you should then be all set.
