3 years agoQR code scanning isn't functioning in 1Password for Mac
Hi, I thought that unassigning/re-assigning screen recording permissions would resolve the QR scanning feature not functioning properly. I have tried the basic troubleshooting otherwise ... updating ...

I continue to have problems with this mechanism for scanning QRcodes to set up 2FA 1-time passwords. Rarely does it work. I open the appropriate page in Safari, I click on the little icon in the 1Password app, and after a few seconds, 1Password reports that the QRcode scan has failed. In my experience, this happens far more often than not, and I'm forced to try to get the actual code from the website or, if that's not possible, copy the QRcode and decompile it with another tool to get the text out of it.
Whatever the mechanism you're using to do this, it doesn't work very well, and nowhere near as well as the old tool that 1Password 7 used.
