Sadly, the Secure Enclave doesn't support HMAC-SHA-1 or importing keys [1] so it's not compatible with the industry standard TOTP 2fa mechanism.

I think we can do a lot better than the industry standard TOTP 2fa system anyway. TOTP involves sending plaintext private keys around during setup.
Fortunately, we have WebAuthn now. Hopefully Apple will jump on board soon.
