VPN Access with users/passwords

Currently the VPN feature in Orbi, like all other nighthawk routers I have used in past only use certificate based authentication.

 

Meaning authentication is only one-factor.

 

As any security aficiando will tell you, you should always do two factor authentication.

 

Can we get username/password's added to the VPN functionality in this router and the nighthawks? It is a simple mechanism to get two-factor auth.

 

Or if we could hook up to SMS service that would also work :-) Don't want Russia hacking into my home network to steal all my kitten photos.

  • It would be really nice to see some activity on this suggestion. Nowadays 2 factor auth is a must.
