Description jan 2023-11-02 12:55:12 UTC 
SUMMARY
My workplace enabled 2-factor authentication for ssh. When I try to connect from dolphin (or kate) via sftp, it doesn't ask for the second factor (TOTP) and the authentication fails.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Connect to server with 2FA activated for ssh and sftp using sftp://user@servername.domain.de

OBSERVED RESULT
Authentication failed.

EXPECTED RESULT
Ask for 2nd factor (TOTP) and then display the files and folders

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9

Qt Version: 5.15.11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If I use fish:// instead of sftp:// I am asked for the 2nd factor (TOTP) and authentication succeeds.

Issue still persists. A solution is implementing an 2FA support like Nautilus does.
