2FAuth is a two-factor authentication tool that adds an additional layer of security to your login process. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install 2FAuth on Void Linux.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, let's install the dependencies required for 2FAuth. Open a terminal and run the following command:
xbps-install -S python3 python3-pip qrencode
This will install Python 3, pip, and qrencode.
Clone the 2FAuth repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/Bubka/2FAuth.git
Change into the 2FAuth directory:
cd 2FAuth
Install 2FAuth using pip:
sudo pip3 install -e .
Now that 2FAuth is installed, let's set it up. To add a new user, run the following command:
2fauth add
This will prompt you to enter a username and password. After entering this information, you will be shown a QR code that can be scanned by a two-factor authentication app.
Next, open the two-factor authentication app on your mobile device and scan the QR code. Once the app has been set up, you will be prompted to enter a verification code. This code will be generated by the two-factor authentication app and will change every 30 seconds.
To use 2FAuth, you will need to enable it for your user account. To do this, run the following command:
2fauth enable
After enabling 2FAuth, you will be prompted to enter your username and password followed by the verification code generated by your two-factor authentication app.
You have now successfully installed and set up 2FAuth on your Void Linux system. With this two-factor authentication tool, you can add an additional layer of security to your login process.
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!
