I am trying to do nginx 2FA authentication using pam.



/etc/pam.d/nginx_google_restricted:



auth required pam_google_authenticator.so forward_pass
auth required pam_unix.so use_first_pass



I have SSH 2FA enabled. pamtester successfully authenticates with format password+code but the browser sign in fails.



Log:
Oct 10 18:40:34 dummy nginx_google_restricted(pam_google_authenticator)[2245]: Failed to change user id to "ryan"
Oct 10 18:40:34 dummy ker process[2245]: pam_unix(nginx_google_restricted:auth): auth could not identify password for [ryan]



I know this has to be something simple but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.
