 Replying to [comment:11 Centinel]:
 > I successfully set up TOTP two-factor authentication via oath on
 jprostko's test server. In my setup, members of the 'otpusers' group are
 required to present an OTP when logging in via SSH. In the interest of
 avoid proprietary software (Google Authenticator), I succcessfully used
 mOTP and FreeOTP to generate OTPs.

 Nice!

 hopefully we can move forward with testing.

 I'll try to take a look around later tonight.

 password-based SSH logins; if you are using SSH keys, it will ignore two-
 factor authentication and log you in directly.

 I'm pretty sure that you can define `AuthenticationMethods` in sshd_config
 to get around this limitation, but I could be wrong.  I mean, on some of
 my own servers, I require a public key, followed by the account password
 on the server, and it works well.
