How can we improve Proton Pass or Authenticator?

Proton Authenticator Desktop App: Scan On-Screen QR Codes

The ability to scan on-screen QR codes seems to be missing from the Proton Authenticator desktop app. This makes adding new MFA entries via QR codes more tedious than it needs to be.

Similar desktop authenticator solutions, like Yubico Authenticator, have the capability to add MFA entries via on-screen QR codes, proving it is technically possible.

Having moved from Yubico Authenticator to Proton Authenticator, this capability is sorely missed. Please add this capability to the Proton Authenticator desktop app.

    Keeper and 1Password does something similar and a game changer.

    This should be possible. On iOS, one can screenshot the QR code, then import into Proton Authenticator. It can either use the camera or read an image (screenshot).

    Expect this should also be possible on the desktop, but does need to be implemented.
