  1. Download Google Authenticator and enjoy it on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. ‎Google Authenticator works with 2-Step Verification for your Google Account to provide an additional layer of security when signing in.
  2. The best way for us to ensure our online security is using 2FA (2 Factor Authentication). Google Authenticator is a free app which creates the tokens needed.

Google Authenticator can issue codes for multiple accounts from the same mobile device. Each Google Account needs a different secret key. To set up extra accounts: Turn on 2-Step Verification for each account. Learn more about 2-Step Verification. Use the same Google Authenticator app. While Google Authenticator is available for Android, BlackBerry, and iOS, there’s no desktop app. When connecting from a laptop or desktop to a service for which Google Authenticator is providing 2FA protection, you must have a mobile device on hand to generate your access codes. Google Authenticator has no encrypted recovery backups.

Do you know Google Authenticator? I hope you do, because it is really key to increase security for your Google account.

You can read more about it on Wikipedia or on Google website. Anyway it is really good way to secure your other services as well. For instance LastPass is using Google Authenticator to two-step authentication, which will allow you to increase security of your WordPress. You can even install WordPress Plugin called Google Authenticator. I was using it for one week but I removed it after all - it was exaggeration IMHO.

Anyway - I was fighting with Internet because I didn’t know how to remove certain “account” from application.

In short words you just need to hold on account you want to remove and click on bin.

AuthenticatorGoogleLatest version

Released:

A HOTP/TOTP code generator for the command line. Pw-dn4210d driver free download.

Project description

authenticator is a CLI analog to the Google Authenticator phone app, or the LastPass Authenticator phone app. It is a TOTP/HOTP client that can generate the numeric codes needed for authentication with sites that support Two-Factor Authentication (TFA) or Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

Benefit

Google

The benefit of using authenticator over a phone app is that this CLI utility can run anywhere Python 3.5 can run from a command line interface (e.g., a terminal window), and the database of accounts and secrets is a platform-independent passphrase-protected encrypted file that can be backed up and can be copied to multiple systems without fear of bad actors gaining access to the second factor authentication.

Another benefit is that authenticator can act as a backup in case you loose your phone or tablet (running Google Authenticator) or Google breaks the app or withdraws it.

Personally, I use both Google Authenticator on my iPhone and iPad, and run authenticator on several different computer systems. I keep a copy of the accounts file in a variety of places. If my phone bricks, is lost or stolen, I can still get access to my TFA-protected accounts if I can access any of those other computers, or any other computer on which I can install and run authenticator and access a copy of my accounts file.

Authentication secret (READ THIS)

TFA/MFA clients that produce a ‘one time’ numeric code require a secret that they share with the server validating the authentication. Typically this secret is generated by the server and captured by the client in the form of a QR code that can be scanned by the client app on your phone.

But this CLI utility doesn’t have the ability to capture or process QR images. It needs the secret in the form of a text string. If the server cannot provide a text string equivalent of the shared secret then you cannot use authenticator to generate one-time codes for that account.

Each account will use a different secret, a different text string. If you are already using a phone app to generate one-time TFA codes for some accounts then you’ll need to generate new secrets for those accounts (and update the info in the phone app) so that you can capture the secret as a text string.

GMail TFA example

If you enable Two-Factor Authentication for GMail, you’ll go through a setup process that first configures your account to send your phone a code by text or voice. At the end of the setup you’ll have an opportunity to add Google Authenticator as an alternative code generator. Select that and scan the QR code with your phone’s Authenticator app (Google Authenticator, LastPass Authenticator, et cetera). Then click the link labeled “CAN’T SCAN IT” under the QR code … that will give you a 32-character secret string that you’ll use to add configure this account in authenticator.

It is important that you capture the QR code and then click the link for the secret string secret code. If you capture the secret and click “back” to get the QR code then a new secret will be generated and the new QR won’t match the previously captured secret string. (With Google Authenticator you actually don’t need the QR code; you can also provide the secret as a text string using the ‘manual entry’ option when adding an account to the app. LastPass Authenticator doesn’t have that option.)

You add the account and secret to authenticator like so:

You then generate codes like so (use Ctrl-C to stop the generation):

System Requirements

This requires Python 3.5 or later.

It has been tested on OS X 11.9.5, Windows 10, and Ubuntu 14.04. As none of those systems come with Python 3.5 out of the box, you’ll need to install that yourself.

And I recommend setting up a Python 3.5 virtual environment in which to install authenticator.

Usage

Add an account

To add a new account, do something like:

You can use any string there as the name. I recommend the format ‘vendor:userid’, where vendor is some string indicating the organization or server that will check your TFA credentials, and userid is the user account id that is being authenticated.

You’ll get prompted for the passphrase to unlock the file in which all the account secrets are stored. And then you’ll get prompted for a secret string.

Generate current codes

To get the current code for all the accounts, do:

You’ll get prompted for the passphrase, and then the program will start generating the current passcode for all the accounts. It will continue to generate current codes every 5 seconds until you stop it with ctrl-C.

Other commands and options

There’s a lot more, just enter authenticator --help for a list of all the commands and something like authenticator add --help for detailed help on a specific command.

Implementation details

This is a simple attempt to implement the “Pseudocode for Time OTP”and “Pseudocode for Event/Counter OTP” given in the Wikipedia article on Google Authenticator. That pseudocode is reproduced here …

Pseudocode for Event/Counter OTP

I’ve validated the pseudocode and this implementation against RFC6238 (TOTP), RFC4226 (HOTP) and RFC4648 (Base32 encoding).

Dependencies

This implementation requires:

  • Python 3.5 or later
