Description

Right now [https://github.com/nextcloud/twofactor_nextcloud_notification](Nextcloud Two Factor Notifications) currently shows you a notification like this:

incoming-4827D5BB-EDDA-4FC5-803C-878A73A7FBFE

As you can see, this notification was taken from my Apple Watch, and there are a few issues I have with it. First off, there's no way to take action from the notification itself, iOS supports handling notifications with actions. Which is a feature used with other authenticators like Duo and Microsoft Authenticator. Because there aren't any Actions on the Notification, there is no way to authenticate without opening the whole app.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Nextcloud Two Factor Notifications integration and Apple's UserNotifications actions documentation, then locate the iOS notification handling entry point. Done means a 2FA notification exposes actions that can authenticate without opening the full app; the issue does not name specific files or tests to run.
