2FAuth is a command-line tool that generates two-factor authentication codes. In this tutorial, we will go over the steps to install 2FAuth on NetBSD.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following:
2FAuth requires the following dependencies to be installed on your NetBSD system:
To install these dependencies, run the following command:
sudo pkgin install git python37 py37-pip
Next, we will clone the 2FAuth repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Bubka/2FAuth.git
This will clone the repository to a directory called "2FAuth" in your current directory.
To install 2FAuth, navigate to the cloned repository directory using the following command:
cd 2FAuth
Next, run the following command to install the required Python packages:
sudo pip3.7 install -r requirements.txt
This will install all the required packages to run 2FAuth.
To configure 2FAuth, run the following command:
python3.7 2fauth.py configure
This will prompt you for your Google Authenticator shared secret key, which you can obtain from your 2FA provider. Once you enter the shared secret key, 2FAuth will generate a QR code that you can scan with your 2FA app.
To generate two-factor authentication codes, simply run the following command:
python3.7 2fauth.py code
This will generate a six-digit two-factor authentication code that you can use to authenticate your login.
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured 2FAuth on your NetBSD system. You can now use 2FAuth to generate two-factor authentication codes for added security.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
