I am attempting to withdraw BTC from Electrum. The problem is when I try it asks for my google authenticator code. I do not have this. I have my seed but I mustn't have scanned the QR code after creating the seed.

How do I bring up this QR code to set up google authenticator for this transaction?

It isn't obvious from the interface what to do and information online is sparse.

Thanks in advance.

Are you using a phone right?

Turn your phone off completely and try again. If you still have the problem,  if you have the seed you can disable 2FA (i think that is what you mean by google authenticator, im not sure because i dont use any BTC software in phones).

It should be like this: "File" -> "New/Restore" -> Select "Standard Wallet" or "Wallet with two-factor authentication" -> "I already have a seed" -> Paste your seed -> Select "Disable";

Download a qr scanner on your phone and scan it.

Thanks Neurotypical.

It didn't ask for 2fa after I created a new wallet. Though I don't understand why it did before since I'm sure I opted for a standard wallet.
