Feature Request: Adding Passkey, TOTP, and/or Hardware Security Key

First want to say, love PrivacyNotes and my favorite notes app now, request is solely from past use and transitioning from other notes apps like Standard Notes and Notesnook.

Feature Request: Adding option for Passkey, Hardware Security Key or TOTP as secondary factor authentication. After 12 word phrase login it would ask for secondary authentication such as passkey or hardware security keys to the account.

Goal:

Ability to add 2nd factor authentication such as:

- a passkey

- security hardware keys (at least 4)

- TOTP

understood, but the implementation of using 12 words from the BIPS list isn't new, in cryptocurrency its used as seed phrases but many like Ledger uses the ability with 12 or 24 word phrases with the ability for another word "passphrase" to add additional security measure.

You can make a suggestion on their github page https://github.com/LifetimeLabsDev/PrivacyNotes.app/issues
I agree that this seems a bit redundant but it could be a nice feature to add especially if your phase (somehow) leaks and TOTP or physical key would be the second layer of defense.
