Setting up 1Password one-time passwords on Windows 10

dlorde

I tried following the help page to set up two-factor authentication for DropBox in 1Password - I got as far as editing the 1Password vault entry for DropBox, but I couldn't find the 'Label' field/button the help page mentions. I can use the 'Add' button to add one-time password field, but when I click on the circular symbol to the right of it, it prompts for an 'Account' and a 'Secret', for which I can't find an explanation - the 'Custom Fields' help page links to the same two-factor authentication help page that mentions the absent 'Label' field/button...

Can someone explain what I'm missing?

Hello @dlorde,

Thank you for taking time to contact us! I am Greg and I will do my best to assist you with this Dropbox question.

Since you are using 1Password 4, not 1Password 6, your interface is a little different. In order to generate a one-time password for your Dropbox account, please choose to enter your secret key manually while setting up two-step verification in Dropbox:

After that you will get your Secret. You should put that string in 1Password 4, like this:

Please give it a try and let me know if it works for you. Thank you! :+1:

Cheers,
Greg

Hi Greg,

Thanks, that seems to work OK - it's easy when you know how!

It would be nice if it was documented...

Thanks again, Dave

Hey @dlorde! It's tough when the process is almost the same, but not ... quite ... I'm looking forward to our standalone vault customers getting to use the same app as our 1Password membership customers come 1Password 7. No longer having two sets of instructions for anything will be a nice feeling. :chuffed:

I look forward to that - 1Password 7 sounds interesting.

Might be worth boosting publicity for it, given the amount of anger at LastPass doubling their subscription without notice - a lot of LastPass customers are looking to change password manager.

@dlorde: Thank you for your suggestion! We will definitely share more details about 1Password 7 for Windows once we have them. :) In the meantime, please check this post in our blog, where we first mention it.

Cheers,
