That one takes care of the known password I guess.

Nope not yet.  I'm not even sure what Lua does specifically.  But the
Oauth support looks like it's in the right direction.  So, I guess I'll
do some reading.

Ideally I'd love to find something this simple -
https://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator-apache-module/, but for
nginx.  Seems like it'd be generally useful for any / all websites.

I'll read up AND keep looking.

Thanks a bunch.
