Yes, the shared secrets have to be stored in a central location and
validated there remotely.

But if your central 2FA solution takes the OT (one-time) in TOTP serious
you cannot use a TOTP value with clusterssh, ansible or whatever. It
gets even more complicated if your 2FA solution has multiple instances
for HA and your target systems access different instances.

Ciao, Michael.
