2FA with Amazon and 1P

Is it possible to use 1P to generate a one-time password for each time I log into Amazon? I have gone through the steps but when I add One Time Password it wants me to scan a bar code but Amazon doesn't provide one. I have managed to do it with Dropbox but not Amazon. Sorry, I'm sure this is very obvious. Any ideas?

1Password Version: 5.4.1
Extension Version: 4.4.4
OS Version: 10.11.2
Sync Type: DropBox
Referrer: forum-search:Amazon and TOTP

    Hi @iamecho,

    Thanks for taking the time to contact us. I'm sorry that you are having some trouble, but it is entirely understandable.

    Amazon does not use the Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP) standard that Dropbox and other services use. They require you to receive a text message, so their implementation is not compatible with 1Password or other third-party apps at this time. Perhaps if we all ask them nicely, they will add standard TOTP support in the future. :)

    If we can be of further assistance, please let us know. We are always here to help.

    Cheers!

    Hi @iamecho,

    On behalf of Khad, you're welcome! Sorry it wasn't better news, but at least that solves the mystery, and it wasn't anything you were doing wrong.

    Hope you have a great weekend, as well! :)
