ubuntu 23.10
I can access my employer’s local network if I authenticate with a 2fa. They suggest proprietary software, but aegis authenticator (found in fdroid) works fine.
The thing is, the phone’s screen is too small and it’s very cumbersome to navigate the screen and to click. It’s so bad I don’t want to use it, because fonts are so small you cannot read anything. It’s like they didn’t even try to optimize the local network for devices.
However, if I could emulate this app on an ubuntu based computer, I’d use it. Can it be done?
I don’t understand the scenario here. Typically, you only need the TOTP (time-based one-time password) from your 2FA app, enter it on your computer, and you can use the computer to access your resources. The app itself is actually not even supposed to be on the same device, as an added layer of security.
It sounds like you need 2FA to run your company’s VPN (is that correct?). On your computer, you would launch the VPN, it’ll ask you for the TOTP (which you get from Aegis on your phone), and then you’re logged in and able to access company resources (on your computer).
