I'm not sure if this is being worked on or has already been suggested, but this seems to be a feature missing from Piefed. I personally used to use it when I was on Lemmy but haven't been able to on Piefed. I understand if this is difficult to implement but I feel like it would be a good security feature that seems to oddly be missing from Piefed.

TOTP requires a 2nd device to be a 2nd factor, whereas many people want to use their phone with passwords synced.

Also, mabnually typing in numbers sucks.

That's where WebAuthn comes in. Users couls, for example jus log in with a Nitrokey or Yubikey.
