Hi @jamsec, welcome to trac.
Related: https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/two-factor/
I couldn't find a relevant ticket, but @georgestephanis may know one. When
including this in core has been discussed in the past, some of the
hesitations has been around creating a system where users won't end up
locking themselves out of their sites. @macmanx
[https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/12/11/2fa-2fa-2fa/ put it well]:
> I’ll say it this way: We want users to be able to secure their sites
with 2FA, not sit back and watch outdated abandoned sites pile up because
they locked themselves out and simply give up when when we mention FTP,
Database, or SSH.
The #core-passwords room in slack, [https://wordpress.org/plugins/two-
factor/ Featured Plugin], and [https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/two-
factor/ numerous make core posts] should be able to provide you with some
more information.
