networkmanager-openvpn can't create tap adapter

Hello. I have an openvpn server, the settings of which I cannot edit (with google authenticator access) and
i want to connect to it. When I do it through the console like so:
openvpn --config someconfig.ovpn, an error is displayed stating that the tap adapter cannot be created.
If you run the same command with root rights, then everything works as it should.

Question: How can I make network-manager create a tap adapter when trying to connect to  the openvpn server?

P.S The VPN connection configuration was created through the network-manager GUI, by importing the ovpn file from the folder (its certificates are also there), where the user has access.
After that, a config file was created in the etc/network-manager/ ...

5.4.53-1-lts with lightDM and i3wm

I found the answer: you need to install the openvpn-otp package, it turns out that the default client does not support otp authorization (e.x with google authenticator)
