Hello, does FreeFileSync support multi-factor authentication for sFTP connections? I.e. using ssh key file and user/password combination at the same time. E.g. as is described here: https://www.goanywhere.com/managed-file-transfer/more/tutorials/two-factor-authentication-using-ssh-keys-and-passwords-for-sftp.

If not, is this planned?

Thank you!

Thank you for your reply. However, when I use the method Key file, there is no option to specify a password that should be used for authentication as a second factor. There is Key passphrase field, which is used for the certificate:
