<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p>I added your sbrandt XSEDE account to my allocations on Bridges, Stampede2 and Comet.</p>
<p>TACC uses 2 factor authentication of their own making. . You have to first obtain a password for you TACC account from: <a data-is-external-link="true" href="https://portal.tacc.utexas.edu/password-reset" rel="nofollow">https://portal.tacc.utexas.edu/password-reset</a> which will offer to set up TACC's two-factor-authentication. You can try using TACC's own app or the Google Authenticator for <a data-is-external-link="true" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2" rel="nofollow">Android</a> or <a data-is-external-link="true" href="http://appstore.com/googleauthenticator" rel="nofollow">iOS</a> (only tested with Android so far). Whenever you use simfactory you <strong>must</strong> (well if you want to use the Skylake nodes and not the Knight’s landing ones) pass a <code>--machine stampede2-skx</code> option to it to ensure that the "Skylake" section of the Stampede2 is used and not the "Knights landing one". Alternative
you can create a file <code>$HOME/.hostname</code> on Stampede2 and put the text s<code>tampede2-skx</code> in it. This will cause simfactory to use the skylake section by default. If you are on multiple XSEDE allocations on stampede2 you can use the <code>--allocation</code> option of simfactory to select which one to charge.</p>
<p>You may have to wait for 1-2 business days for your $HOME to be created and logging in earlier may result in you being dropped to <code>/</code> with a message along the lines “you do not exist” if you are unlucky. This fixes itself once $HOME exists.</p>
