QR 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 to the latest version (today) and restarting the computer. When I click the "Scan QR Code" button, the scanner window does not appear. Instead, I immediately see the "QR code detection failed" error at the bottom of the screen. Please help. Thanks!


1Password Version: 8.7.0
Extension Version: 80700049
OS Version: 12.3.1

    Same issue here, 1Password for Mac 8.7.1 on macOS 12.3.1.

    Clicking "Scan QR code" from the purple banner on an item leads to a pause, and then "QR code detection failed" in a black bubble at the bottom of the window. No scanner window appears as in 1Password 7. I have tried this with and without a QR code present on the screen, and have cycled the screen recording permission in Security & Privacy (restarting 1Password fully each time).

    Edit, further: I've tried to scan the QR code via the icon in the field that appears when you're editing the entry, but the same thing happens.

    No worries. I was able to resolve the issue with the help of 1Password support. Thanks!

    Does 1Password have access to the Camera?
