I used this guide to enable Google TOTP auth on Ubuntu 16.04.



SSH only allows cert based auth (PasswordAuthentication no)



I set ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes and restarted the SSH service.



I don't get prompted for a 2FA token.



So I added the following line to sshd_config:



AuthenticationMethods publickey,keyboard-interactive



Then restarted the SSHd



Now I get prompted for a password after entering the cert password, but the 2FA codes are not accepted. I used both the main numeric keyboard and the dedicated numeric keyboard to enter the numbers.



UsePAM yes hasn't been changed.
