ModeratorHello Johnep! 👋
Welcome to 1Password! If you're wanting to use 1Password as an authenticator app then we support the Time-based one-time password (TOTP) standard. You can read more here: Use 1Password as an authenticator for sites with two-factor authentication
If you'd like to setup two-factor authentication for your 1Password account itself you can use either a TOTP authenticator app (like Microsoft Authenticator) or a hardware security key: Turn on two-factor authentication for your 1Password account
I use VIP Access for one app
If you mean Symantec VIP Access then you'll need to continue using that authenticator for that app since it uses a proprietary standard that 1Password isn't compatible with. Alternatively, you could reach out to the app in question and ask if they support TOTP which is compatible with 1Password.
Let me know if you have any other questions. 🙂
