Description

When an SSH session is opened, all of our infrastructure utilities some form of secondary prompt for authentication, usually in an OTP token.

It would be nice if there was a better interface for showing secondary factor prompts & MOTD (typically `/etc/issue`) / Logon disclaimers to be able to use this more in an enterprise setting.

Happy to include local docker PoCs if required for issue reproduction

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by reproducing an SSH session involving an OTP prompt and MOTD or login disclaimer, then locate the terminal's handling of interactive prompts. Done should mean that secondary authentication prompts and login messages have a defined, usable interface.
