Hi team,

I've been playing with 2FA on AIX and wanted to share a small contribution back to the community.

This work is based on the excellent 2FA package very generously provided by the AIX Open Source team ❤️

I've simply taken it as a foundation and added a few practical improvements aimed at making adoption easier for everyone - from seasoned AIX admins to people touching 2FA for the first time.

What I added on top:

• ✅ Simplified installation flow
  (install + 2 small config edits + guided wizard)

• ✅ QR code support (no manual token typing)

• ✅ Wrapper script to make setup predictable and repeatable

• ✅ Clear documentation, including rollback

• ✅ No sudo-related surprises

• ✅ Bilingual docs (EN / ES)

The goal is not to reinvent anything, but to lower the barrier so more AIX systems actually end up protected with 2FA in 1 minute (as we do in Linux)
