Description
Expected behavior
If a user has multiple 2FA providers enabled, all of them are shown on one single login screen, which might result in an overloaded login mask (check out "Current behavior" below). It might be a good idea to add a function to define a primary 2FA provider and show all alternative providers under a separate menu point.
