Japanese stockbroker with 2FA login?

Do any of the Japanese online brokers have 2 factor authentification in their logins?
I've noticed that Monex and Rakuten Securities have "secret questions" as part of their login, but I wonder whether any broker has an app or token based 2FA or passkey security like US brokers like Firstrade.
I have a pretty strong password of course, but just wondering whether any brokers allow use of 2FA. Thanks.

You can turn on 2FA login with Rakuten and they will send two pictures to your email that you need to select to login.

Thanks! I’ve just filled in my details on the Rakuten securities site so hopefully I’ll have the paperwork next week to get me on there.

SBI securities have a whole 2FA app but it is not enforced for the main site

Oh I see. Is there a way to set it up so that the app can be used as 2FA for logon to the main site?
