Actually, Vector does support alternative auth mechanisms (although it's quite buried) - it implements the web fallback mechanism, both on web, iOS & Android, such that any unrecognised auth mechanisms can be handled by whatever webpage fragment hosted by the server, as per: https://matrix.org/docs/spec/r0.0.1/client_server.html#fallback https://matrix.org/docs/spec/r0.0.1/client_server.html#fallb...
For instance, we have a workplace deployment of Vector knocking around that uses CAS for auth, and the whole CAS flow is handled by the fallback mechanism. (This CAS happens to be user/pass, but it could easily be 2FA or whatever instead).
That said, it's still beta, and not super-documented.
