One related JIRA is the support for OIDC "display" parameter. This 
allows to open login page in the popup (among other things). See 
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/KEYCLOAK-3322 .

Regarding desktop client, we already have "Direct Grant" authentication 
flow, which has some support for OTP verification. You just need to add 
"totp" parameter to the request though. See the ValidateOTP class for 
details.
