| sicelo | i don't use 2-factor authentication for any of my accounts :-/ | 12:16 |
| sicelo | but i want to. however i do not want to use SMS. i only have an N900. | 12:18 |
| sicelo | any ideas on solutions/applications/etc. | 12:19 |
| bencoh | sicelo: what are you talking about? | 12:22 |
| bencoh | (I'd guess gmail, but ...?) | 12:23 |
| sicelo | yes. seemingly some of the support authenticator apps instead of sms | 12:26 |
| bencoh | I use gmail with mutt, you can add a password per application | 12:27 |
| bencoh | and use it exclusively with the specified application | 12:27 |
| sicelo | thanks bencoh. i will try that for gmail. will check if something similar is available for the others (facebook, github, twitter, etc.) | 12:34 |
| Maxdamantus | If by "authenticator" you mean the time-based OTP authentication used by "Google authenticator", I just run a Java implementation of that on my computer. | 12:48 |
| Maxdamantus | that will surely also run fine on N900. | 12:49 |
| Maxdamantus | http://blog.jcuff.net/2011/02/cli-java-based-google-authenticator.html | 12:51 |
| Maxdamantus | Yeah, it seems to just be a Main class for use with the code Google uses in their Android application. | 12:52 |
| sicelo | nice. | 12:59 |
| sicelo | i had been looking at oath-toolkit. no idea if that would do | 12:59 |
| Maxdamantus | oauth*? That's quite a bit different to authenticator. | 13:00 |
| Maxdamantus | though maybe some systems let you pick and choose which authentication mechanisms can be used, dunno. | 13:00 |
| sicelo | https://github.com/malept/oath-toolkit | 13:01 |
| Maxdamantus | I've been wanting to use OAuth (and hence SMS 2FA) for mutt/gmail, but haven't got round to looking enough into it. | 13:01 |
| Maxdamantus | afaik, I'd probably have to just hack mutt. | 13:02 |
| Maxdamantus | Oh, okay, not OAuth then. | 13:02 |
| sicelo | bencoh: per app password seem to need my phone number after all. or i am missing something? | 13:22 |
| Maxdamantus | sicelo: are you sure it's not just to get the password the first time? | 13:23 |
| sicelo | i guess yes, that. had been wishing/hoping for something to not use phone number ever :) | 13:24 |
| sicelo | but yeah, does look like i am dreaming | 13:24 |
| bencoh | sicelo: err, could be, yeah | 13:31 |
| bencoh | but that's just to register iirc | 13:31 |
| sicelo | looks like oath-toolkit is also the right tool for 2FA needs. wonder if it will compile for n900 | 13:38 |
