It’s a otpauth:// protocol handler link, which should load fine on mobile if you have an app that supports it.
I do agree that displaying a QR code while on desktop would be more practical. As a workaround, you could use this addon on Firefox to display the otpauth:// link in a QR code format and scan that.
⚠ Be careful about not showing this code to anyone else, it contains the secret to the 2FA.
Have you tried this ? I am scared I will lock myself out of my account. Also after getting the link, do I just add it to an authenticator app like Aegis and call it a day.

Glad I could be of service :)

I’m currently using it :)
I stored it both in Aegis, in my Bitwarden vault and my KeePass backup vault and they all generate the same code.
Cool Bro, thanks for helping. I will set it up now.
