    Needs to be optional not mandatory. We have scripts that attach to Omnibus database that won't want 2FA and rolling this out to all our users would be a real pain. I could understand for externally facing but ours aren't and generally someone would need to access one of our lappies and VPN in requiring RSA key, then access RDP server from that network before getting WebGUI login.
    Maybe that would be a means to think about, no direct access to WebGUI, user would need to access RDP or similar that can be more quickly secured to access WebGUI or other products with secure data.

    Please let me know as soon as possible if there will be a plan for adding a 2FA feature anytime soon. We need this information to open a risk to cover 2021's operations.
