Title

2FA With FortiToken

Platform

Desktop App - macOS

Is it related to an issue?

When trying to login to Linux servers via SSH that use Fortitoken for 2FA. The request from FortiToken is "+Enter your Token or type 'push' to receive a push notification:". Termix does not give you the option of typing in the code of type "push". It only gives the option of "Send Request" which it does not appear to be compatible with FortiToken as it's either looking for a 6 digit code or the "push" entered.

The Solution

Allow us to put in the 2FA code or type "push" for it to authenticate.

Additional Context

I'll gladly be a guinea pig if you want me to verify it's working with Fortinet software.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Termix desktop SSH login against a Linux server using FortiToken 2FA, focusing on the prompt that asks for a token or “push.” Done means the login flow accepts either a six-digit code or the literal “push” and authenticates successfully with FortiToken.
