Does the OTP QR Scanner option "from my screen" work in 1Password for Windows V7 beta?
The OTP QR Scanner "from my screen" option doesn't seem to work for m e in 1Password for Windows V7 beta. I make sure that the QR code is visible on the screen. When I choose that option, should I see a window that I can position over the QR code? Or should 1Password just find the QR code?
The other two options (from clipboard and from image file) work fine.
Am I doing something wrong?
1Password Version: 7.0.543
Extension Version: 4.7.1.90

@pdk: It sure does! :)

Hmm. How it works is when you select that option, 1Password minimizes itself and looks for a QR code onscreen. If it finds one, it will pop back up, and it will have placed the text-string equivalent in the field. It's not obvious, because this will be obscured with ••••. There is no UI that comes up, it's just going to see what is visible onscreen. Does that help?

Whoops. Color me embarrassed! I didn't actually note that the text-string was being populated. I just tried it again and it works as you said, although the text-string seems to be in the clear. Just hitting save after that and my OTC field works. Thanks for pointing out what was right in front of my eyes. 8-)
