  • Open the Menu: Click on the three dots menu within the extension.
  • Select "Manual OTP": From the dropdown menu, choose the "Manual OTP" option.

  • Field Name: The pop-up includes a field labeled "otpauth."
  • Setup Key Option: There is an option to enter the setup key associated with the OTPAuth secret.
    Input Secret: Enter the OTPAuth secret into the designated field.
