On mobile, you just use pin. So easy!

On desktop, you use pin, type code, then scan. I find the flow quite smooth.

I find the constant back and forth between devices annoying. 2FA is already annoying because you have to switch from desktop to mobile and back, but that can't be helped. There's no need to make it 6 times, though: desktop (on site) -> mobile (start app + pin) -> desktop (fill in code) -> mobile (get camera) -> desktop (scan QR) -> mobile (press allow) -> desktop (continue on site)

That's just being irritating.
