- tyingq 8y agoI'm surprised Authy doesn't have a pam module: https://github.com/authy/authy-ssh/issues/53 https://github.com/authy/authy-ssh/issues/53
- imthenachoman 8y agoAuthy's mobile app should work with Google's TOTP PAM module.
- Timucin 8y agoYes, you can add it to almost anything and the best part is; you don’t have to be online to generate and/or verify the code.
- Fnoord 8y agoYou don't have to use a closed source TOTP client such as Google's. There's RedHat's FreeOTP and there's another open source one called antOTP. You can find them on F-Droid as well. There have been TOTP PAM modules for ages (these work on a Linux client and Linux server via e.g. SSH). You can even add YubiKey to PAM. Same for BSD Auth and macOS.
- noinsight 8y ago> RedHat's FreeOTP It's abandonware these days and hasn't been updated for years. The iOS app doesn't work anymore and can't use the camera for reading codes.
- dfed-mpls 8y agoI use it on ios, and so does most of Red Hat employees (they state it is a preferred version of tfa over the google app.) It's not broken for the 15 or so accounts I use it for.
- noinsight 8y agoTry the "scan code" button which should activate the camera and the app will crash. I just tested it with my iPhone and verified. The iOS App Store application was last updated 4 years ago. There's also comments there saying it doesn't work anymore. Reading / using existing codes might work properly, or manually inputting them.
- dfed-mpls 8y agoNope. I used that feature just today to add another account. Works on my iPhone X.
- dfed-mpls 8y agoAlso, the last commit to the app was a year ago, if you head to their github page. https://github.com/freeotp/freeotp-ios/commits/master https://github.com/freeotp/freeotp-ios/commits/master
- dfed-mpls 8y agoInterestingly my wife's XS is having the problem you describe but not my X. I've sent a note to the maintainers, but there's an open git issue for it. Not sure when their commits will roll to the store. I'm told by multiple colleagues at redhat that they've raised this with internal support, so it should be sorted eventually. Lots of iphones in redhat and this is the app they officially support for TFA internally.
- Avamander 8y agoTOTP/HOTP hasn't changed for years. The app works perfectly for me and needs no updates.
- imthenachoman 8y agoWhen I was researching, literally every article I read mentioned Google'S TOTP PAM module. I can't even find any other ones that have active development. Do you know of any? Would love to use another one if it works with my iOS authenticator app.
- bpye 8y agoIf you have an NFC YubiKey and an Android phone with NFC then the Yubico Authenticator is pretty awesome. You can store your OTP tokens on your YubiKey. Also open source. https://github.com/Yubico/yubioath-android https://github.com/Yubico/yubioath-android
- imthenachoman 8y agoYou're welcome. Glad it helped someone!
