Hello everyone, hope you’re doing all fine.
I just would like to ask if it’s possible to add a plugin.
As an admin, I think it’s very important to be sure that no one have access to our account. That’s why I would like to ask you about creating a plugin relating to Google Authenticator.
How it’ll work :
When admins will log on, if they would like to enter into the admin page, they need to enter the one time password given by the app : Google Authenticator.

I think that’s an important and useful tool. It will be awesome if you can add it 😉
Here’s the link of the app (IOS) :

It seems relatively uncomplicated to bolt-on support for TOTP via Google Authenticator—for example, here’s a Google Authenticator add-on [implementation](https://github.com/alexandregz/twofactor_gauthenticator) in PHP for Roundcube. Right, right, apples and oranges, php and ruby, webmail and forum, but the libraries are all there and it’d definitely make me h…
