Once the secret is generated, TOTP can be enabled using the following config. I configured it to require OTP when login and sudo, in addition to password. Once the secret is generated, TOTP can be enabled using the following config. I configured it to require OTP as the second-factor authentication when login and ssh. There is no security benefit of enabling it on sudo because the secret key is stored in the home folder (`$HOME/.google_authenticator`) that the user can write to.
