Thank you for sharing the name of the website. I just tested using 1Password in Chrome and I was able to scan a QR code using these steps:

  1. Navigate to https://obsidian.md/account
  2. Click Enable next to "2-factor authentication" on the Obsidian page.
  3. A QR code will display.
  4. Click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar and make sure that the Login item for your Obsidian account is selected.
  5. Click the more options menu (it looks like three vertical dots) and then click Scan QR Code.

1Password will add the one-time password to the Login item and then place the one-time password on your clipboard. Paste the one-time password into the Obsidian website and follow the prompts to complete setup.

Let me know if these steps work for you. If they don't then can you tell me what browser you're using and can you confirm that you're using 2.24.2 of the browser extension?
