This is not how this is implemented. I am using GitHub and GitLab with
2FA enabled and I am rarely asked to enter any token. Once you get
authenticated on a device, it remains for a long time. The model threat
is to prevent someone stealing your password through
phishing/spying/guessing to login into your account. SSH keys being
asymmetrical, they are not covered by this.
