• xclip (included in most distros)

Copymfa.5s.sh to~/.config/argos and grant it execution permission (chmod +x ~/.config/argos/mfa.5s.sh).

By default the tokens are read from~/.config/gnome-mfa/mfa.txt.The configuration for the screenshot above is as follows:

Gmail, gr6d 5br7 25s6 vnck v4vl hlao re, mail-mark-unreadDropbox, ABC5DR789AB3D1B3BCD1ABAB23, weather-overcastBank, ba12 1234 126a cdef 5431 1a, calc

The format is:

Title 1, seed 1, icon name 1Title 2, seed 2, icon name 2...

• Title: it can be anything and can include some mark-up (<b>,<i>... checkArgos' documentation).
• Seed: TOTP seed (HOTP not implemented yet). Only base32 seeds are implemented for the time being since they are the most common.
• Icon name: name of a Gnome icon (see here or executegtk3-icon-browser).

If after configuring Argos/Gnome-MFA you cannot see the key icon on the top-right corner, something is not working. Check Argos documentation about how to debug it.
