Hey, it looks very neat. I was wondering if Autotab currently supports logging into websites that require 2FA. (Your readme mentions Google only.)

Hey, we're looking to build out our library of authentication plugins. Many websites offer "Sign in with Google" which makes things easier, you can just specify that in the autotab.yaml file. If you have a specific website in mind, I'd be happy to add support for it!

Thanks for the reply! I was thinking about an internal website. I don't know if this is a reasonable suggestion, but maybe you could focus on common SSOs and 2FA providers like Duo and OneLogin?

Interesting! I think the way we’ll handle this is the sane way we handle Google 2FA atm: We have you log in and do 2FA manually once, then we save the logged out cookies.

Why the logged out cookies? That way even if someone gets the cookies they still need the password, but the automation can log in with just your password, no 2FA needed.
