I&#x27;ve used the libpam module for Google Authenticator[0] before, the difference being that it isn&#x27;t dependant on the availability of a third-party service, but you have to be much more careful about losing your device. That said Authy do have pretty great uptime[1]<p>Nice for production servers, but becomes a an annoyance after the cool factor wears off for servers that don&#x27;t really need it :) Installable on aptitude using libpam-google-authenticator (guide [2]).<p>[0]: <a href="https://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;code.google.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;google-authenticator&#x2F;</a> [1]: <a href="http://status.authy.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;status.authy.com&#x2F;</a> [2]: <a href="https://scottlinux.com/2013/06/02/use-google-authenticator-for-two-factor-ssh-authentication-in-linux/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;scottlinux.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;06&#x2F;02&#x2F;use-google-authenticator-f...</a>

I looked at the site for some time and couldn&#x27;t find an answer to my question. Does anybody know if the SMS is just for US cellphones?

Can anyone tell me if that&#x27;s really worth it? Looks like a bit of an overkill considering the protection given by ssh keys.

Does it works just with SMS?
