Hello @curtis-livefront. I tried several times on Edge, but it didn't work. Eventually, I got it to work by using another phone to generate the QR code within the MEGA app, and that did the trick. I'm not sure why I didn't try a different browser or device earlier, silly me. No idea why it failed on Edge, but I guess that's just one of Microsoft's mysteries. Thanks again!

Strange, I tried to get my friend to use Bitwarden's authenticator, and he got the same issue with manual key on Google two-factor authentication, but when we went to Google authenticator, it worked all right.
