I am baffled why would they try to port this for Mac / Linux which already has SSH functionality built-in. It can make sense on Windows where there is no equivalent, by default.
- babo 11y agoTwo-factor authentication is the reason. A use case is to access code from VSTS where two-factor authentication is a forced.

Some people use HTTPS for whatever reason (outbound corporate firewalls and proxies, ease of setup, familiarity, or just personal preference). And I would recommend that those users further use two-factor authentication. This tools is meant to help those users.
