Thanks for the reply. If you don't see the 2FA banner at the top of your item in 1Password then you can still scan the QR code and use 1Password as an authenticator for a website:

  1. On your Mac, make sure that 1Password in the browser is installed: Install 1Password in the browser
  2. Navigate to the ARQ Backup website and follow the instructions on their webpage to display the QR code for 2FA.
  3. Click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar.
  4. Get help if you don’t see the 1Password icon in your browser’s toolbar.
  5. Find and click on the saved login item for ARQ Backup in 1Password's pop-up.
  6. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the item in 1Password's pop-up and then click Scan QR code.
  7. Finish setting up two-factor authentication on the ARQ Backup website.

I hope that helps!
