Custom names for TOTP Authenticators

Custom names for TOTP Authenticators

Problem

Users can have multiple TOTP Authenticators registered with FusionAuth. If they lose one or change devices, they will want to remove that authenticator from their account. Currently it's impossible to tell which of your authenticators is which device.

Solution

Users will be able to add a custom name/identifier to their Authenticator, to differentiate between apps/hardware keys etc.

Alternatives/workarounds

Using a self-hosted flow, users could add this field and we would store it in a database alongside the id and join in the front end (although this is not currently returned when a 2FA method is added), so adds additional complexity. This would also require complete ownership of the login flow, to capture changes when 2FA is enforced and set on login, which is a significant undertaking.

@jamescottrill is this a duplicate of #1463 ? Seems so on first read. If so, please upvote 1463 and close out this issue. If not, no worries!

Actually, I take that back. It's slightly different, so I think we should leave it open.
