Scan QR Code - desktop snapshot doesn't work

[Ice-Tea]

Standard fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS with all the current updates.

I'm surprised no one else has reported this when you consider how important 2FA is, click on the authenticator snapshot function and it gives the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/Authenticator/widgets/accounts/add.py", line 234, in scan_qr
    filename = GNOMEScreenshot.area()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/Authenticator/models/screenshot.py", line 55, in area
    x, y, width, height = screen_proxy.call_sync('SelectArea', None, Gio.DBusCallFlags.NONE,
gi.repository.GLib.GError: g-dbus-error-quark: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: SelectArea is not allowed (9)

This doesn't fill me with much confidence unless i'm misunderstanding how Ubuntu bugs work?
