absolute noob asking how QR codes work to 2fauthenticate.

So I do scan the QR code and then I get a list of codes I can use to log in? or do I have to scan the QR code each time I want to 2fauthenticate?

    You scan the QR code with an OTP authenticator app like FreeOTP, Authy etc. Then the app will show you a code (6 digits) which changes every minute or so. You copy the code from the OTP app and paste it into the app where you want to authenticate.
