Looks neat. Can anyone think of a reason to prefer this over Google Authenticator (which also has nice PAM plugins)? The risk of a outage with duosecurity.com concerns me.
- swolchok 16y agoWell, Dug Song of Duo Security points out that you can't use Google Authenticator and public key authentication in conjunction with each other over SSH at the bottom of this howto: http://www.mnxsolutions.com/security/two-factor-ssh-with-google-authenticator.html http://www.mnxsolutions.com/security/two-factor-ssh-with-goo...
- jonoberheide 16y agoDuo offers a number of features above and beyond Google Authenticator: - more flexibility in choice of authentication method (voice, SMS, soft token, hard token, Duo Push) - more supported mobile platforms (Android, iPhone, Blackberry, WinMo, Palm WebOS, Symbian, J2ME) - more integrations (VPNs, UNIX logins, web apps, etc) Not to mention all the features that come along with being a fully-fledged authentication service such as account management, fraud alerting, logging, etc. Feel free to give it a shot and decide for yourself. :-) Disclaimer: if it's not obvious from my gushing, I'm affiliated with Duo. ;-)
