Hello, To those of you who use 2fa on your accounts how did you get it set up? Most setups I've read about seem to indicate that you have to scan a qr code which periodically changes so your second factor can generate a one-time use key, problem with me is my computer has no monitor attached, I've got it running headless. I'd like to secure all services that I've got with 2fa, is this doable without a monitor? Services include: ebay yahoo amazon audible linux/bsd secure shell access linux roundcube webmail Thanks for any pointers. Thanks. Dave.
The services usually provide a string that you can enter in place of scanning the QR code. I've found Keepass and 1Password to both be accessible in terms of entering this shared secret and getting the 6-digit codes. Keepass requires a plugin which you can get from their website.

In our organization in order to set it up you get a link that you paste within the Duo app to activate. After doing that, every time when you log into something that needs your approval, the app notifies you on your phone. When you open the app, you get two options to either approve or deny. You also get told what IP address is trying to log in. If you log into something a lot, you can tell the web page to remember you for seven days instead of every time. I wish that all two steps were this easy. I briefly used the Apple one and it was an absolute nightmare.
