TS4500 implement for Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) / Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

    In my oppinion (from the feedback I get from clients) it would be more important in regards to cyber security to implement first a "dual control" function on the most critical Web Gui Setting panels (like we have on the TS7700). The danger to change something important (by purpose or mistake) is in my oppinion higher than someone trying to hack the pw of the TS4500 Gui User ID within a company.
