I'm curious why they don't add SSH support to Visual Studio Team Services then. :) Edit: Apparently they are. But I still think it would've been better to layer two-factor auth on top of SSH keys, since that can be done securely in a 100% offline manner. Perhaps it's just a cultural difference, since Windows doesn't ship with an SSH client?

Edit: SSH is coming soon. These are (roughly) orthogonal issues: regardless of whether we support SSH or not, we are going to support HTTPS access to Git repositories. And if we support HTTPS, we must support two-factor authentication. A lot of organizations require this. (In fact, Microsoft itself requires this internally: our authentication to any internal web site uses 2FA.) So Visual Studio Team Services must support HTTPS with two-factor authentication. This is awfully painful to use git core on the command-line without a credential manager to assist you.
