NAME¶
google-authenticator - Two-step verification
SYNOPSIS¶
google-authenticator
DESCRIPTION¶
Run the "google-authenticator" binary to create a new secret key in
your home directory.
You will be shown a QRCode that you can scan using the Android "Google
Authenticator" application. You have the option to manually enter the
alphanumeric secret key into the Android "Google Authenticator"
application. In either case, after you have added the key, click-and-hold
until the context menu shows. Then check that the key's verification value
matches.
Each time you log into your system, you will now be prompted for your TOTP code
(timebased one-time-password) after having entered your normal user id and
your normal UNIX account password.
