Shows Multifactor Authentication tokens (aka "one time passwords" or OTP) in the Gnome panel. Uses the wonderful Argos extension for Gnome.
- The red number is the expiration time for the tokens, in seconds.
- If you click any entry, the token is copied to the clipboard.
- Argos extension
- oathtool (included in most distros)
- xclip (included in most distros)
Copy mfa.5s.sh to ~/.config/argos and grant it execution permission (chmod +x ~/.config/argos/mfa.5s.sh).
By default the tokens are read from ~/.config/gnome-mfa/mfa.txt.
The configuration for the screenshot above is as follows:
Gmail, gr6d 5br7 25s6 vnck v4vl hlao re, mail-mark-unread
Dropbox, ABC5DR789AB3D1B3BCD1ABAB23, weather-overcast
Bank, ba12 1234 126a cdef 5431 1a, calc
The format is:
Title 1, seed 1, icon name 1
Title 2, seed 2, icon name 2
...
- Title: it can be anything and can include some mark-up (
<b>,<i>... check Argos' documentation). - Seed: TOTP seed (HOTP not implemented yet). Only base32 seeds are implemented for the time being since they are the most common.
- Icon name: name of a Gnome icon (see here or execute
gtk3-icon-browser).
If after configuring Argos/Gnome-MFA you cannot see the key icon on the top-right corner, something is not working. Check Argos documentation about how to debug it.
