As a user, I can export TOTP secrets as QR codes to import them into a mobile device

Q1. What is the problem that you are trying to solve?

I want to copy a TOTP secret from Passbolt into my mobile phone. The usual way to transfer TOTP secrets to mobile phones is by scanning QR codes with the secret; Passbolt can currently import QR codes, but it cannot export TOTP secrets as QR codes.

Q2 - Who is impacted?

Users who use Passbolt to store TOTP secrets, and who want to copy those secrets from passbolt to their mobile devices.

Q3 - Why is it important and/or urgent?

It’s not very important, but would be nice to have. A possible workaround at the moment is to manually type the secret into a mobile phone authenticator app, assuming the app supports this.

Q4 - What is your proposed solution? (optional)
Passbolt should be able to display TOTP secrets as a QR code, e.g. when clicking the “Export” button while having a TOTP entry selected.
