Honestly Windows does this right with AD, Kerberos, Spnego

You login to a physical machine with a password (the machine is trusted on the network via AD so physical access is one factor and password is a second)

You visit websites and they use SPNEGO to land on Kerberos or NTLM auth which then bootstraps off the fact you're already authenticated to Windows. You never even need to see a login page

It's achievable with macOS and Linux but afaik there's some more configuration to be done. The only place I saw with a setup like that was a bank and it was part of a new technology stack that almost nothing used yet

With that setup there's almost nothing to phish if you can train people to only enter their password into the OS at login. You can pretty much eliminate the possibility of credential sharing but locking logins to certain machines
