Google 2-step auth on SSH Server

Is it possible to use something like Google's 2-step auth on SSH without loads of config work ?

It seems sensible.

Thanks.

I used http://www.mnxsolutions.c ... to set mine up, I think the only difference I did was that I added users into a group that requires ga code in addition to password. key based login is authenticated without needing the code.

The important lines for my pam setup are:



auth [default=ignore success=1] pam_succeed_if.so quiet user notingroup googleauth

auth required pam_google_authenticator.so
