Oxford Temporarily Blocks Google Docs

Does two-factor auth have to be that expensive to implement these days? I've experimented with building it against Google Authenticator (free, runs on any modern smart phone) and it's ridiculously easy to get up and running - it's a few lines of Python https://github.com/tadeck/onetimepass/blob/master/onetimepas...

Doesn't solve the problem of users without smart phones though, which I imagine is still not ignorable at most universities.

With Google Apps itself you can print a list of codes to carry with you. Is that possible with the Open Source/Google Authenticator version?

Yes, google-authenticator prints out a list of unlock codes when you run it. You can add extra ones to the file it puts in your home directory whenever you want.
