Lightsail web ssh terminal not working when setting ssh 2FA

0

When I try via web interface it refuses the connection, I am still able to authenticate with 2FA via external ssh, the problem it's probably that the web interface doesn't do anything unless it's sure that the connection it's established, and this doesn't happen if ssh is secured with some kind of 2FA

Hi THere

The Lightsail web SSH terminal is designed to provide a simple and convenient way to access your instances, but it is limited in its functionality compared to using an external SSH client. When you enable 2FA for SSH access, the web-based terminal is not able to handle the additional authentication step required.
