Camera Permission Troubleshooting
If the Pair2FA QR scanner displays a blank camera box:
1. Click the lock/settings icon next to your browser address bar.
2. Ensure 'Camera' permission is set to 'Allow'.
3. Refresh the page and try scanning again. Alternatively, click 'Enter Key Manually' to paste the Base32 setup text directly.
