QR CODE

On your mobile device, open the Google Authenticator app, select + to add a new account. Then, select Scan a QR code, enabling you to scan the previously generated QR code. Scanning the QR code will show you the Linux virtual machine (VM) name, the user account, and a unique TOTP code that changes every 30 seconds.

Reload or restart sshd

sudo systemctl restart sshd
