In theory, certainly... in practice, you will likely have to set up some custom pieces to handle the interactions in PAM to use the Google authenticator (if that is a specific requirement rather than a general illustration). Alternately, you could use a different authenticator that is either easier make cygwin-friendly (or already is). I've been considering trying to setup 2fa for my cygwin sshd myself for years, but it's been a low priority since currently I have to already be inside the network anyway, and disallow passwords to begin with in most circumstances. -- Erik -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
