Remarks
When you enable two-factor authentication on websites, they usually show you a QR code and ask you to scan and launch an authenticator app. QR codes are used in scanning secrets to generate one-time passwords. Secrets may be encoded in QR codes as a URI as specified by https://github.com/google/google-authenticator/wiki/Key-Uri-Format
