In what sense do you mean "implement" or "support." libssh2 is an SSH API
and library that you can use to write applications to interact over SSH.
How you implement those applications is up to you, and, as far as I know,
libssh2 already "supports" both key-based authentication as well as
keyboard interface, which should allow you to do multi-factor
authentication. Depending on how you're using the library, you may have to
write some extra checks for additional authentication requests beyond just
sending a username and password, but, again, this is in how you use the
library, not in the library itself.
