At least on the backend that will need to be supported.  There are cases
where we'll want to run applications that we don't write ourselves that only
have a single field for password.  For those situations, the backend will
have to be able to handle parsing a single password field for a combined
password+2fa.

I don't know if that needs to be expressed on the frontend but if it's
useful we might as well.
