I do this too, with Gsuite (for work). But that's not really "supporting" 2FA auth; the provider is making a way to bypass 2FA for convenience. I think if Mutt were actually supporting it, there would be a way to have hooks to enter both password and passphrase. Because of the different auth schemes used for this (and presumably lack of support in the IMAP protocol), I'm guessing it might be pretty difficult to implement this. w
