You can use a password or pass phrase with other MFA factors, for example with Timed One Time Password, you can enable Compound In-band Authentication where you need to specify 123456:passw0rd or passw0rd:123456. This only works if the password input field can handle the length.
With Out-of-band authorisation, you define a policy of which factors you want the end user to use, such as TOTP and password, or certificate and password.
You enter your security data on the MFA web page for the policy , and get back a one time code which you can use in your application. You need to configure the AZFPASS1 component to be able to enter your password as one of the factors.
