authy-ssh
Adds two-factor authentication to SSH servers using Authy's API for enhanced security.
What is authy-ssh?
Authy SSH is a library that enables two-factor authentication for SSH servers by integrating with Authy's API. It enhances server security by requiring users to provide a time-based one-time password from the Authy app in addition to their SSH credentials. This helps prevent unauthorized access even if passwords are compromised.
System administrators and DevOps engineers who manage SSH servers and need to implement stronger authentication mechanisms. It's also relevant for organizations requiring compliance with security standards that mandate multi-factor authentication.
Developers choose Authy SSH for its seamless integration with Authy's trusted 2FA service, providing a reliable and easy-to-implement security layer for SSH. Its legacy support ensures compatibility with existing systems, though note that the project is currently unmaintained.
