Use an API token. You can create an API token assigned to that user and use the token to make backups from the Proxmox VE servers. You will be able to use the 2FA for manual logins and the Proxmox servers use the API token for the backups.
Sure, it's documented here: https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/user-management.html#api-tokens
In your PBS GUI, you can find it under Configuration -> Access Control -> API Token
Give the token a name and the token credentials will be shown. Don't forget to assign permissions to the token. Keep in mind that the token is limited to the permissions of the user.

you use the api token instead of your username and password when creating the pbs storage.
