Hi Brian,

Thanks... setting "AuthenticationMethods
publickey,keyboard-interactive:pam" works, in that even with a valid public
key I get prompted for a password and 2FA.
I understand from the reading of the manpage that there is no
"publickey:pam" string that would allow for just a 2FA prompt if a valid
public key was presented?
I'm a little unclear as to why "password' and "keyboard-interactive" are
seen as two distinct authentication methods...

Thanks again!
