The only support article I could find for "authenticator" seems to refer to "Mac" and directs that you "scan" an QR code, (plus it seems to be associated with having a 1Password account as opposed to the stand-alone program), so I have to believe the answer is "No", but I thought I'd ask.


1Password Version: 4.6.2.624
Extension Version: 4.6.7
OS Version: Win 10
Sync Type: N/A

    Hi @tom_young,

    Thank you for reaching out and using 1Password!

    You can use 1Password as an "authenticator" with one-time passwords (TOTPs). Here is how it looks in 1Password 6 for Windows:

    And in 1Password 4 for Windows:

    In 1Password 4 for Windows you can add TOTP by clicking on Add > One-time password while editing an item.

    I hope it helps. If by "authenticator" you mean something else, please let us know. Thank you!

    Cheers,
    Greg

    Hi Greg:

    I was able to establish the authenticator in 1Password. Thanks.
