Inoperable. No opportunity given to scan QR code

[heviiguy]

Initial set-up seemed to go well. However, after restarting Joplin and then hitting the Backstage icon, the QR Code dialogue box does not appear. The only box shown is the one summarising the connected device.

When entering the server details manually, I'm able to access the server's web page. However, as it requests me to scan the QR code or enter a valid OTP, I'm unable to connect.

Joplin 2.9.17 running on Mac OS Big Sur

Try the following.

On the desktop app, select the the Forget button which should bring up the QR code.
Scan the QR code on your phone.
If you see the authentication page on the phone browser, click in to the URL bar and delete the "?OTP=xxxxxx" part. Hit enter. This should take you to the upload page.
