Description

OpenKeychain provides PGP support for Android. Using it allows access to authentication keys stored on hardware tokens (yubikeys).
The developers have created an API to allow accessing those keys for ssh auth:
https://github.com/open-keychain/open-keychain/tree/master/sshauthentication-api
adding support to Amaze would mean allowing secure 2FA for sftp (ssh) connections.

Research direction

No Amaze files or tests are named. Start by reading OpenKeychain’s sshauthentication-api at the linked repository, then locate Amaze’s SFTP/SSH authentication flow; done means hardware-token keys can authenticate SSH connections and support secure 2FA.
