Description

Encryption of the connections file is great, but I would feel even safer if I could enable 2fa to even open the application, I don't think it needs a user/pass to login, just a function to enable something like using google authenticator or Authy, to 2fa into the app.. I do not save login info within mRemoteNG today because if i loose my laptop, its pretty easy to get into windows. then they have the key to my servers.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by mapping the application-opening flow and reviewing how the existing connections-file encryption works, then determine the authenticator integration and enrollment behavior. Done would mean a user can enable two-factor protection and must complete it before opening the application.
