My preferred solution would be to add a 2FA code to my Google Authenticator app on my iPhone. I prefer to shut down my machine when I leave the office so that my hard drive is encrypted, so just leaving it running at the login prompt is not a good solution for me.

Does MacOs prevent the use of 2FA after startup because only a password can be used to decrypt FileVault? I'm surprised at how hard it is to find a 2FA login solution. This would prevent someone who has my password from starting-up my iMac, decrypting FileVault, and logging in to my machine. While wearing your Apple Watch, you should be able to just wake up your Mac and access it immediately without having to enter your password.I would like to setup a 2FA prompt for every time I startup my iMac, which is in a shared workspace. Now you can lock your Mac and see if you are able to login, without entering your password.
