Hi, I'm trying to automate with a RPA software the QR scanning and copying accounts operations. I have a working code for both operations only if in Authenticator there is only one account created, if there are more than one account, I don´t have a way to select the desired account, since the Authenticator app adds in the second row each new account scanned and my code is only able to recognize the first account and then copy the code generated.

Is there a way to search by issuer? I see in Preferences the "smart filter" option, but even I have it enabled, is not shown in interface.

Thanks for any help

You are better off using a TOTP library if you are trying to automate generation of 2FA codes.

For example which TOTP library. I'm doing the automation with a visual GUI (UI Vision) that is like Selenium IDE extension for chrome.

Basically I need to scan the QR of the user and then copy the code generated.

You're trying to automate the scanning of qr code ? This extension can only do manual scan.
