2FA - Both 1Password and Authy?

I've been using 2FA with the authy app for a while now. I like how fast it is, especially when logging onto a computer where I don't have the app installed. I have been using 1password for a number of years now, but I haven't been using 2FA on it. It sounds really promising in how it integrates. Simple question from someone who doesn't totally understand the workings behind 2FA, Is it possible to use BOTH 1password and authy for 2FA on the same accounts?

    Hi @b_ryan

    Yes; that should be possible. You may need to disable 2FA and re-enable it to get a new secret though. The secret often comes in the form of a scannable QR code. You can scan or input this same code into both 1Password and Authy. You can also print it, so that it can be scanned again without having to disable/re-enable 2FA to get the secret in the future.
