SSH Locked Down

SSH Two-Factor Authentication: Lock your machines with certificates + security codes

SSHOpenVPN

Features

  • 30 second installation

    Forget those complicated installation procedures. It takes 30 seconds from start to finish to add Authy Two-Factor Authentication to your SSH.

  • Authorized keys

    We know passwords are not safe, we designed Authy SSH to work best with authorized keys.

  • Mobile Apps or SMS

    Someone in your organization doesn't have a smartphone? We got you covered. Authy SSH can send them the token via SMS or a phone call. The rest can install the Authy App for free right to their phones (it even works while your offline).

FAQ

Is there a way to disable SMS?
Yes, if you'd like to disable SMS altogether send us an e-mail to [email protected]. We'll take care of it.

How does Authy SSH works?
We use the forced-command directive to run our plugin when the user is logging in. After we verify the token we return a shell to the user.

Benefits

  • Simple deployment

    You can easily add SSH Two-Factor Authentication to all of your machines in an instant. It works great with chef or puppet.

  • Great security

    Certificates can be stolen remotely from your machine, but stealing your physical phone is harder. Two-Factor brings a whole new layer of security to your SSH access.

  • Hassle free

    Authy is simple all the way, from the installation to the mobile app's. We take care of all the little details so you can just relax.
