RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
When you set 2 factor authentication (password + OTP) in the GUI you check a box that clearly states you are choosing 2 factor authentication which includes password and OTP. However if done through the command line the option is called OTP which the documentation states equates to 2 factor auth. Additionally the chapter title in the doc says "Command Line: Enabling OTP Authentication" which is really incorrect. It should be enabling 2 factor auth (password and OTP).

Hello, we've reevaluated the ticket and decided that we will close it.
The documentation seems to be already updated from "Command Line: Enabling OTP Authentication" to "Command Line: Enabling Two Factor Authentication".
As for the naming of the options, it's clear from the documentation that all the options (otp, pkinit and radius) are for 2FA (except "hardened").
It is not worth the effort to rename all the options to something like otp-2fa, radius-2fa, etc.
