Welp! I added the OATHAuth extension to this Mediawiki instance. This means that you can enable two-factor authentication to your profile to further secure your login procedure. There are a number of OATH clients on the market, but I decided to just install the oathtool command line tool on my Fedora based laptop, by running 

sudo dnf install oathtool.x86_64


I'll document how to register for 2FA here tomorrow. It's too late tonight.


I then run 

oathtool --base32 --totp "REGISTERED KEY GOES HERE"

Which generates a 6 digit code to give to mediawiki when prompted.
