Thank you, guys I actually like Andrew's suggestion for sys-auth. I am still relatively new to gentoo, so when I was skipping through all the categories it just didn't sound like even a possible match to me. But its description definitely sounds very close to Authenticator. I guess I was scared off by the sys- prefix :)
