Add 2FA Support to pfSense Plus Local Database Authentication

Description
To eliminate the reliance on unsupported packages like freeRADIUS for making this work, we should add the capability to the built-in user database in pfSense for time-based tokens. This could be "bolted on" to the end of passwords similar to how other options accomplish this for OpenVPN or IPSec VPNs, but we may be able to add a field to the webConfigurator login for 2FA.
Hello,
This would be hugely helpful. Insurance companies are starting to require we implement 2FA across the board. Having it natively in pfSense would save a great deal of frustration.
Further expounding on this, it appears that Viscosity has native capability to add prompts in the client config.

This can be "merged" into the password field with a bit of finagling and scripting. May be a way to add a backend for this in pfSense.
As a federal contractor, my small business is seeking to comply with the forthcoming US DoD CMMC cybersecurity standards.
Hardening our internal network is a high priority so that we can enjoy continued Federal contract work.
Adding another "admin" user under freeRadius and leaving the hacker wellknown Local Auth "admin" password only, does not harden the system.
Rather it increases the attack surface. Passwords only make time the enemy.
CMMC is imminent. MFA will become a requirement for certain levels of security.
I recommend urgent implementation.
