I’m just missing the steps. The G Authenticator is set up on your system but I don’t know how to integrate it.

I ssh with my ip, I’m asked for a password… do I feed it the digits from the G authenticator?

that’s what I’ve tried about 20 times… it just sits there, not even a time out.

    When logging into SSH, it will ask you to input the username and the password. The password will not show any characters being input as a security precaution.
    And the first login will then ask for the current password again, and ask you to create a new password (and re-enter that password again).

yup, got that but that is not what is happening. It takes the ip and asks for the password then nothing.

2 more?’s. Now that I’m in, (I’m pretty sure it was a timeout issue) why is it asking me for a new UNIX pw? and how is it the G authenticator comes into play for 2PWA?

    Like I wrote before. That’s the process of the first login. It’s asking you create a new password, since the first-login password was sent via un-encrypted email, so it’s not considered safe.
    Again, SSH doesn’t support 2FA unless you add different modules. Your Authenticator is for your DigitalOcean account, not the droplets.
