Finally got it resolved. It turns out that once the HMC MFA requirement is 
assigned to a userid, the HMC asks for a OTC for every userid, regardless of 
whether it requires the OTC or not. If not, don't enter anything in the field, 
and select logon/login. Once I removed the requirement for MFA on my test id, 
it stopped asking.
