this is actually advertised on the nx setup page of sdcc (which gives this some legitimacy)

One problem my students encountered was running this on a Mac. There was some delay and the authentication came too late most of the time when trying to connect to nx. We found this by sitting together with Saroj checking on the server side (there is no feedback on the client side, it just doesn't let you connect)

But it does work great on my windows laptop - I haven't used my phone ever since (okay - for duo I still need it...)

Dear all,
Zhaoyu asked about OTP alternatives to phone apps. I came across a handy browser-based OTP authenticator and thought you might find it useful — I may have shared it with some of you previously.

The browser-based authenticator https://authenticator.cc works on all major OSs, including Linux. Browser extensions are available for Firefox, Chrome and Edge. A handy feature is that it can display the saved QR image for a token, which makes it easy to add the same OTP to other devices.  

Cheers,
Shuwei
