Click Scan a QR code if a QR code is visible on the screen or manually enter the details. The QR code is usually a visual representation of the following address URL-encoded:

otpauth://totp/<email>?issuer=<issuer>&secret=<secret>
  • Credential name: the name of the provider (e.g. GitHub)
  • Secret key (base32): the secret key (32 characters)
  • Credential type: usually TOTP, but can be HOTP
  • Number of digits: usually 6, but can be up to 8
  • Algorithm: usually SHA-1, but can be SHA-256
  • Require touch: enable

It's possible to convert OTP secrets stored in 1Password by editing the item's OTP field and parsing the URL as demonstrated above.
