I am looking for a 2fa authenticator that works on my desktop, without using a smartphone or tablet.I don't know what an "authenticator app" is. If what you need is TOTP, oathtool (in the same-named Debian package) might be your friend. What I do is, in a terminal: echo "MY-TOTP-SECRET-KEY" | oathtool -b --totp - | xclip -r -selection clipboard
I also use oathtool, but with an encrypted key: gpg --decrypt --quiet key.asc | oathtool -b --totp -
Xclip (from the same-named package) puts the result in some X selection (here I use the clipboard, because the result is going to the browser, and those are too stupid to handle other X selections gracefully).
Copy via double-click and paste via single click works fine here (for Firefox and Chromium) in X via SSH (the browsers run inside an LXC container). Detlef
