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.

That depends on the security vector one tries to secure. If my password manager DB gets stolen and password gets hacked - sure. But that is not the only threat one might want to use TOTP against. Even if my TOTP is on the same device as password, if someone manages to recreate my password or eavesdrops it or my password (but not TOTP secret) leaks, TOTP still guards my account
