Is there a way to lock/unlock your screen with a USB in Ubuntu 18?
I've seen programs like Pam and Cuttlefish, but both of them are so outdated that I'm unable to install them on my OS. I was wondering if there's a new program that will add a 2 factor authentication to my computer's login, does anyone know of one? Also, yes, I've seen some simple scripts to do it, but I'd like it to be secure, not just identifying if any USB with a specific name is plugged in.

Are you talking about pam_usb? wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pam_usb That one indeed seems to be unmaintained...

Yes, I was talking about pam_usb, and there used to be a program called Cuttlefish that was an all-around program, as far as I know, but I can't find anything for that either. I did find some pam files preinstalled on my system though, so once I get a U2F key, I'll look over them and see what I can find. Until then, however, I'd love to hear if anyone else has any other programs that I could try out.
