Hmm, but entering username and password is also rather weak, especially
when doing it from unknown browsers.

If you really need two-factor authc you should issue X.509 certs for
keys generated on smartcards protected by a PIN or something like RSA
SecurID (AFAICT the latter can be integrated with CAS via RADIUS).
