Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Apple's 2FA supports two methods. Send verification to a trusted device or a trusted mobile phone number.

I have two Apple accounts, one is a registered developer account and the other is my personal account. I want to use the registered developer account to get a longer signature validity time, but I did not log in to this developer account on my personal phone, I added my mobile phone number to the list of trusted mobile phone numbers and verify via sms. However, AltServer does not support 2fa authentication via sms, which prevents me from signing with a developer account. Hope that this feature can be supported in the future.

Describe the solution you'd like
When performing 2FA, we can choose to use sms to receive the verification code, like fastlane does.

Start by reviewing AltServer's existing 2FA authentication flow and the linked fastlane pull request for its SMS approach. Done means users can choose SMS delivery for verification codes when authenticating 2FA-protected accounts.
