Failed to add 2FA key for blockchain.com #5

Description

@srwalter

When trying to use my Passport Prime with blockchain.com, I would scan the generated QR code, but the device popped up an error about "Invalid Secret"

I scanned the generated QR code with my phone and noticed that it contained some special characters (colon and dash) and was also fairly long, as the account name contains a UUID. I removed those things, regenerated the QR code, and then Passport Prime accepted it.

I therefore conclude that the 2FA app has a limitation with one or more of:

  • Colons
  • Dashes
  • Long account names

I did manage to get it to work, but it shouldn't be this difficult.
