Hey there.

I used the steamguard qr code to generate a QR code and added it to bitwarden. Initially it printed the wrong code (just numbers, e.g. 12345) but after some googling I managed to figure out how to fix it.

The QR code generates a link like the following: optauth://totp/Steam:username?secret=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ123456789&issuer=Steam. However, by changing this url to just steam://ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ123456789, it now prints correct codes with letters, e.g. ABC12.

I figured that something about that could perhaps be added to the readme? Maybe it could even help for Google Authenticator or Authy to use those urls, as those are mentioned as incombatible, or maybe it's just a bitwarden specific thing I'm not sure.
