+1. What functionality does this new mechanism add?

Tunnelblick implements 2FA through the management interface using the
existing static and dynamic challenge-response mechanism. For a
dynamic challenge, for example. Tunnelblick gets a response from the user in
a popup window or from a user-specified script. (A script is usually
used to get the response from hardware devices.)
