You are misunderstanding how this works.  That QR code contains a
secret value that lets the OTP application generate the 6 digit
codes as needed.  There is no actual code in the QR code.

To clarify further, you only need the QR code *once*.  After that, you
use the application to give you the code you need when asked for.

This what I am after.  A program presents a QC splotch.  A
user scans it with their Android phone and reads it into
FreeOTP.  FreeOTP coughs out a six digit code, which
I enter.

There are a number of apps which support multi-factor
authentication for Fedora.  Just three of which I am aware
of in the main repository are:

     google-authenticator
     keepassxc
     secrets

There may be others.  You should search for MFA, 2FA,
multi-factor authentication and such.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Authenticator is available as
a flatpak.

There's also https://authenticator.cc/ which is a browser
extension.  (Though IMO, doing MFA in an extension seems to
be defeating the purpose of MFA.  Or at least it brings in
more risk than I could justify.)

I don't use any of these apps.  I like my MFA app being on a
separate device like an Android phone.  Or, even better, I
avoid TOTP MFA entirely and use FIDO2 via a YubiKey.

I can't figure out how to import a qc splotch into
either keepassxc or secrets.  And I do not trust Google
as far as I can ...
