Hi,  
I would like to know whether we have any method to use LinOTP as MFA provider for Keycloak?  
Because I want Keycloak to use SMS & Email based OTPs as Multifactor Authentication.

There is a keycloak provider for privacyIDEA, which is a fork of LinOTP.  
So either you consider using privacyIDEA, or you check if you can use the privacyIDEA Keycloak Provider with LinOTP.
