I have to realize that my experiences dealing with the 2factor system are most likely out of date. Most of it is from really wanting to roll this out in the far past but running into continual 'oh we have to drop this for the time being until we get X fixed'. It was also a lot of non-visible work to keep it going with the 'volunteers' who tried it outside of sysadmin-main. There were a lot of resets from people where various 2 factor applications were somehow drifting regularly from what the Fedora system had. The hardware support was better but sometimes would still need a regular nudge from a sysadmin-main person. Making sure that the person asking for a reset was really the person asking was also hard because gpg keys and such were sometimes also lost with a hardware device and we had to go find someone who could actually see/talk to that person. [It is easier for most Red Hat people because there is an internal checker which can be used.. but otherwise it could take days or weeks to get that access back.] However as I opened this, what I am going off are old and out of date. Most of the infra has been rewritten and there are more resources available. I am being a grognard versus helping here.. so will stop complaining. -- Stephen J Smoogen.
