2FA for MacBook

Hi


I know I can chose to have 2FA for use with my 'Apple ID' but that's not what's on my mind..


My Macbook Pro Laptop currently requires a 'password' (different to my Apple ID Password) to open it.'

Anyone know if I can make it so that (in addition to needing that password to open it) a 2FA Token is also required?


(Note: My Macbook, although old, is running Big Sur, but does not (as far as I'm aware) benefit from either Fingerprint ID or Facial Recognition.)


Thanks in anticipation of any thoughts / comments (Much Appreciated).
