NTP authentication key option missing from menu

Hello fellow Netgate community members,

Can you please help? I wanted to ask if this fix will be included in 23.05? This is for NTP authentication it has to have an extra input to make it functional.

It was set to be added here and approved but never was it seems.

We are in the RC testing phase of 23.05, it's too late to include anything additional there.

Might be something we could consider for 23.09. It would help if the patches on the Redmine were submitted as Github pull requests instead.

@jimp this is LamaZ's code, it works great I have it installed on mine and use the authentication options.

@jimp I have added the change again there is still an issue with adding the key into the gui I have added @LamaZ code into the Fork and submitted a pull request so there is some visibility on the missing key issue for NTP Auth
