MFA is getting to be more of a requirement.

How do people handle MFA when scripting from Windows and Linux?

The basic rules are something you know, and something you have  - which
makes it hard for scripts as there is no person to type things in.

We can do certificate logon which avoids a password - but what other factor
can we use?  If your password is encrypted ( or masked) on your laptop,
then  bad guys with access to your machine can steal both your password and
your certificate, so this doesn't count.

All I can think of is to have a hardware dongle like a Yubicon USB device
plugged into the laptop.

You could have networking rules - if from these IP addresses (internal to
your site) then do something special - otherwise require full MFA. But I
dont think we have the systems on z/OS to support this - for example z/OS
TCPIP going to Liberty on z/OS.

Any thoughts?
