Is there documentation (or support) for connecting to networks that require MFA/2FA?

I'm the lone Linux user in a Windows/Mac organization, and I rely on your product to connect to the network now that I mostly work remotely. So, first and foremost: THANK YOU! I could not have done my job (doing good non-profit work for the planet and the people on it) during the pandemic without you.

Our IT provider is planning on securing our network using Multi-Factor Authentication.

• Does NetworkManager-l2tp support MFA/2FA requests?
• If so: is there documentation I can refer to to prepare for this shift?
• If not: are there plans to support it in the future?

The Windows built-in L2TP client doesn't have native MFA/2FA support, yet it works with L2TP/IPsec servers that provide MFA/2FA, e.g. the Cisco DUO L2TP/IPsec docs :

The NetworkManager-l2tp client should work with MFA/2FA if the Windows built-in L2TP client does.

The following thread is in regards to NetworkManager-l2tp working with Cisco DUO MFA :

Thanks @dkosovic -- just as you wrote that I was prompted to test our network MFA again -- I didn't realize the Cisco DUO setup would just send the prompt to my phone as an 'approve/deny': I had expected to be prompted for a 1-time-password sort of thing.

Instead, everything worked super slick! Glad to know I can keep using your great tool!
