Hello,
I'm going to create two factor authentication for pgadmin server...
I'm using postgresql 9.4 with pgadmin III on Linux Mint 17.2 32bit...
I already have 1 password authentication but For better security, I just want to force 2 of them. The authentication factors could be any things(what people have,what people know,where people are or what people are).
Could anybody help me on this?

you mean postgresql server, don't you?  pgadmin is a client program/utility.

one standard way of doing 2-factor is to use ssl keys, with a password
on the ssl key store.

But, how will that work with application programs connecting to
postgres, such as a webserver based application ?
