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

I am faced with the problem that I'm using multiple mobile devices. Sometimes i only have my private phone with me, but need to get access to the nextcloud. On the other hand, me nextcloud account should be secured by 2FA.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice if we could add a second device to be used for 2FA. Are there any plans to add this capability?

Describe alternatives you've considered
