Consider adding support for multi-hour approval

[ashur]

Configuration

• Version — 1.0 (CLI) / 1.4.2 (iOS)
• OS — iOS 15.2.1

Steps

1. Pair Akamai MFA and akr
2. Perform an authenticated SSH operation — ex., ssh -T [email protected]
3. Approve request in Akamai MFA by tapping Allow
4. Perform another authenticated SSH operation to the same host

Current Behavior

Akamai MFA prompts each time an SSH request is made

Desired Behavior

As in its predecessor kr, it would be really helpful if akr and/or Akamai MFR provided multiple approval options:

• Allow once
• Allow this host for 3 hours
• Allow all for 3 hours

Severity

• Enhancement

This is a must have feature. Having to press "allow" every single time is nearly unusable. I'm using akr with my Pixel 4a, running Android 12.

The old kr tool from Krypton had the options mentioned by OP.

Bumping this. This feature is a must have for many users.

This has definitely attracted more attention and is getting prioritized accordingly. I will update this thread with more details soon.
