2. Enable the connection. A window with the QR-code should pop-up. Scan it with your master device. Wait for the window to close.

Note: bitlbee users will receive the login QR-code in form of a URI from a system contact "Logon QR Code". You may need to allow unsolicited messages from unknown contacts in your client.

Just wait a few seconds and try again. Usually, it wors after a couple of retries.
