Journal Timex's Journal: Two-Factor Authentication 2
Finally got TFA working on my home system. Trying to SSH into the box will require the PIN and the password. This will only present a problem when I'm using an SSH client from my phone.
Does anyone have personal experiences with this sort of thing? (I have professional experience with it, but this is the first time I've done anything like this at home.)
Unclear scope. (Score:2)
It's a bit unclear in the article what components that are involved in the Two-Factor authentication.
There are too many variants of the two-factor authentication to consider to be able to give a good answer.

This is what's screwy with /.'s habit of pushing Journals to the Masses without specifically being told to do so. My apologies.
To clarify for you and for others, I wanted to set up Google Authenticator on Debian Wheezy. Instructions [linux.com] are pretty simple; I think it took me all of ten minutes to do, from start to finish.
If you're thinking about giving it a shot, the instructions are generic enough to cover many Linux distros. If yours isn't covered, you might be able to figure it out in pretty short order.
