I have used the libpam support for a couple boxes. A neat way to use two factor auth on the cheap. http://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator/source/browse/libpam/README http://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator/source/browse/...

  I use it too. The nice thing is that in the default config you don't need two-factor auth when using public-key auth. So from your trusted terminal you use public-key auth, and only from untrusted terminals you need to use two-factor auth.

This is currently 500ing for me. I also can't get to any code.google.com location. I have two-factor auth turned on for my Google account. Anybody else experiencing this?

  Worked for me, three minutes after you posted this.

    Signing out of my Google Account and signing back in starting at a code.google.com domain seems to have fixed it.

Anyone know what the capabilities of the iPhone version are? It's out already (and has been since last November), contrary to the story link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-authenticator/id388497605?mt=8 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-authenticator/id388497...

Kudos to the Google folks for releasing this. It took 5 minutes to figure out and setup and the price is very right. Looking forward to seeing this get improved.
