Hello NemotronTx! 👋

I'm sorry that you're running into an issue when setting up two-factor authentication. So that I can better understand the situation can you tell me the following: 

  1. Are you setting up two-factor authentication for your 1Password account? Or for another account?
  2. Is the error coming from 1Password itself? Or from another authenticator app? If it's the latter then which authenticator app are you using?
  3. Can you post a screenshot of the error message? 


I look forward to hearing from you.

-Dave
