I have a Debian Bullseye desktop PC.
I am looking for a 2fa authenticator that works on my desktop, without
using a smartphone or tablet.
I used to use Authy but that apt is no longer supported for my desktop.
Ente-auth was suggested but I have seen problems with that.
I found authenticator.cc
Thanks very much for your reply, Jeremy.
I have now installed ente-auth on my Debian Bullseye desktop PC.
I downloaded ente-auth-v2.0.50-x86_64.deb from GitHub.
I then installed it using apt install.
I found ente_auth@ in both /bin and /usr/bin
I thought I needed to run this in order to launch
Now that Authy is no more, I am looking for a suitable replacement. I have

Twice, when trying to reboot my PC, I have had error messages which
indicate the root file system is corrupted and needs the manual use of fsck
to fix the root file system before a reboot can be done.
Any thoughts please as to what might cause the above problem ?

A Debian system performed a 'lazy' unmount of a portable hard drive when
the drive was unplugged from a USB 2 port.
A card reader was then plugged into the port and an SD card was inserted
into the card reader. Normally the SD card would be automatically mounted,
but this time nothing happened.

Filesystems which are plugged into a port after the system has been booted
are automatically mounted.

If a filesystem in /etc/fstab has a noauto entry, can that filesystem only
be mounted manually using the mount command or
is there any chance that it will be automatically mounted by
usbmount ?
The filesystem is used in a USB port.

Why did the kernel automatically mount the stick ?
Usually mounts have to be made manually for this port.
