Feature request to leverage Yubi Key 2FA [1]

Feature request to leverage Yubi Key 2FA

Saturday, December 15, 2018 6:28 PM - Jeff Newman

I love your Xshell emulator. I use it all day every day. One idea is that I would like to see entertained is the addition of a check-box option next to the password field in the Connect-Authentication properties that would allow the app to enter my password without sending a carriage return/line feed. This would allow us to simply open the session an hit the Yubi key (which issues the CR/LF automatically after it enters the hashed key).

This feature would also be a very useful option if added to the login scripts as well. Just enter the text, but all the user to interactively complete the send command. This would be valuable to me as I often have to jump through several hosts entering the same thing each time with Yubi key (or other 2FA) to get to where I need to be.

2FA is becoming mandatory in most security compliance regulations, so I'm imagining this is going to become a popular request.

Again, very happy with what you've done with the app so far.

Program Ver. : Xshell 6

Thanks for using Xshell, Jeff.

I'll have this issue brought up in our next dev meeting!
