Hello!
This Thread was started because I wanted to show, on recording, that I can´t answer to the original blog post regarding Google Authenticator by @SANGAMESH MALLAYYA (linked above) or start a new thread in the AIX Open Source community, which worked, for the first time, with this thread, but immediately failed again afterwards :) .
So please, dear Community Support, change the subject to an appropriate one, I don´t seem to have the permission to do so!
Thanks,
With kind regards,

Hello @SANGAMESH MALLAYYA !
I´ve successfully tested your guide https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/discussion/google-authenticator-libpam-is-now-available-on-aix-toolbox (can you please check why in some lines the first characters are not displayed?) but experienced a side effect:
After changing from STD_AUTH to PAM_AUTH in /etc/security/login.cfg "sudo" from AIX Toolbox breaks (user is in /etc/sudoers.d/.. allowed to use cat as root):
]# sudo cat /etc/security/passwd
Sorry, try again.
Sorry, try again.
sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts
After adding this to /etc/pam.conf it would work again, could you please have a look at this?
]# grep sudo /etc/pam.conf
sudo auth required pam_aix
sudo account required pam_aix
Thanks,
With kind regards,
