remoteu2f is a project that enables the use of a FIDO U2F security key remotely, through a lightly-trusted proxy.
It is useful mainly to use as a second factor authentication for ssh and sudo-over-ssh. For example:
- User does "ssh server", and enters their password.
- Server shows a one-time randomly generated URL.
- User visits the URL, and inserts/touches the security key.
- The SSH server allows access.
It is written in Go, with some C for PAM integration.
For how to install and use it, please see the installation instructions.
