From the author bparker: Quote If you use two-factor authentication on any websites you visit and need to generate one of those 6 digit codes when you login, I have written a simple app for that that runs on classic Mac OS and others. This program uses the Nuklear GUI library to be able to target as many platforms as possible, and uses the Carbon API for Mac OS support. So he doesn't list System 7 as a supported OS. Probably because Apple never officially supported Carbon on 7.6.1. Yet, being the hacks that we are, we found out you CAN install Carbon 1.0.2 on System 7.6.1. The official installer has a condition that won't let you, but if you use TomeViewer to extract the Carbon extension and put it into your System Folder, it works fine. Cleaning my home office and packing up my MDD for a recap today, so the Power Mac 8600 is not plugged in right now and I can't test. But sounds like something interesting to try and run on 7.6.1 with Carbon 1.0.2 installed! Just thought I'd let ya'll know, maybe someone wants to give it a try?

I wonder what benefits this imparts. Would PPC computers that would run 7 exclusively (thus necessitating this maneuver!) capable of running carbon apps at acceptable speeds?

I haven't tested this other with one app some time. Actually Knezzen brought this one up (he's a real hack). I think it'll only work on 7.6 thought because it's technically so close to Mac OS 8.1 (which supports early Carbon versions). Any suggestions for (older) carbon apps to test?

I don't have any in particular in mind. Perhaps though like a late OS9/early OSX music program? Or some version of Final Cut from that period?

ClarisWorks(AppleWorks) was converted to Carbon fairly quickly and is easily obtainable. It might work with an early Carbon on 7.6. It seems to me that two-factor authentication is something that would only be supported and necessary for sites that require ssl (https) which would make it pretty useless on 7.6 unless there were a substantial browser upgrade. Would 2FA even make sense if a secure connection to the site could not be created? Did OpenDoc have an ssl module? Does anyone know if Cyberdog supports https? Cyberdog was always my favorite System 7 browser.
