I got my github two factor auth SMS two hours late. Fortunately it was just my old laptop. I wonder if it was related. Good reminder to set up an authenticator app on my new phone so I don’t have to rely on SMS!
- 0xffff2 8y agoWhich you should do anyway because relying on SMS is only slightly more secure than not having 2FA enabled at all...
- benatkin 8y agoSMS is still an option if you have a working 2FA Authenticator on GitHub. And even if I went through the trouble to disable it, I disagree. There are conceivable ways people could get to my email to initiate a password reset without getting to my phone, such as snatching my laptop from me while I'm working at a coffee shop.
