Solved dual factor auth for screen connector or other remote access?

[Mike Davis]

Is anyone using any kind of remote control software that has dual authentication? Is there a way of getting this to work in Screen Connect?

A standard UNIX Jump Box has dual factor or triple factor easily available as well.

Good segue for my question. What would you use for 2FA on the jump box?

Well using SSH Keys with passphrases is a common 2FA method - you have to "have" the key and have to "know" the passphrase.

Google Authenticator is another common option.

You can sometimes add IP locking if you have stable workstation IPs. Then you have "something you know, something you have, and somewhere you are."

Thanks. Don't know why I didn't look there first.
