I can give it a try and workaround, but I'm not sure if worth the
effort, assuming that later will be necessary to revisit.

If we hardcode/workaround it on Keycloak, user's coming from FreeIPA
may have their login denied. Even if we ignore smartcards for now. Why?

Depending on the auth types SSSD will show different login prompts. For
example:

* Password
  Login prompt - $ Password:

* OTP
  Login prompt -> $ First factor:
                  $ Second factor:
  Note: Please notice that they are not validated separately

* Password + OTP -> $ First factor or password:

That's the reason why I would like to make the our login screen
dynamic.
