Please tell me the current, correct way to display the Secret Key for my Microsoft account, so I can set up 2-factor authentication.

The instructions to display the Secret Key that I have read online don't work. They do not match what I see when I access my Microsoft account.

I am using FreeOTP. FreeOTP fails to scan the QR-code, so I have to create the token manuallly.
