QR Code is defective in particular circumstances

[p4tpr0]

Describe the issue

In particular circumstances, the QR Code «export» for a TOTP credential is defective/invalid.
This QR Code cannot be imported in TOTP app (Google Authenticator, FreeOTP…).

After analysis the problem is at the beginning of the otpauth URL.

A normal otpauth URL starts with otpauth://totp/...
The invalid URL used to create the invalid QR Code in Authenticator-Extension starts with otpauth://1/...

How to reproduce:

• set up Authenticator-Extension
• set up a master password in Authenticator-Extension
• enrol a TOTP token
• display the corresponding QR Code in Authenticator-Extension
• try to enrol this QR Code in any other app

How to work around:

• remove password protection from Authenticator-Extension before enrolling a new token
• set up password protection again after enrolment

It is completely broken. In Firefox 136's Add-ons two-step verification, the QR code that appears does not trigger the scanning frame when clicking "Scan QR Code."
