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.
