• Hello,

    I have used this plugin successfully but I have to enter the code to my phone manually. I have tried several times to add an authenticator entry using the QR code but I always get a response saying that the code number is invalid and that the QR code is malformed.

    When I type the code number in manually it works.

    It isn’t necessarily my phone since I was trying out similar plugins and was able to set up the auth entries using QR codes.

    Here is the message:
    Invalid Barcode
    The barcode ‘otpauth://totp/Hen Wen UserName?secret=BLAHBLAHBLAH’ is not a valid authentication token barcode

    Again, when I manually enter the same secret code it works fine.

    Of course, BLAHBLAHBLAH is not a real secret code. The real one is a secret.

    Thank you for your plugin and I hope this helps it along.

    Cheers
