TOTP can already be used in conserver if PAM is enabled and I would
hightly recommend sticking with this functionality (via PAM) instead of
re-implementing it. Not only does it remove the complexity and work of
securely implementing TOTP, it also allows other PAM modules to be used.
(Kerberos would be nice if someone is opening a ton of consoles at once.)
