I'm unsure about older versions, but for KeepassXC 2.7.x:

To setup OTP in KeepassXC, find the entry you want to associate with the
OTP or create a new entry. Then, right click the entry, go to the TOTP
submenu, and select Setup TOTP or go to Entries -> TOTP -> Setup TOTP. You
will be prompted to enter the seed for your 2fa.

Then, to get the 2fa code, either select the entry and go to Entries ->
TOTP or Righclick -> TOTP, and either Copy TOTP to copy the current code,
or Show TOTP, to display the code and show you how long until it times out.
