Absolutely insane. Why does Github even care whether I use 2FA?

Absolutely insane. Why does Github even care whether I use 2FA?
- yakkityyak 4y agoIt looks like it's for accounts that contribute code. Compromised accounts can sneak malicious stuff into dependencies.
- 0xffff2 4y agoMaybe I don't understand what "contribute code" means... Do I only "contribute code" if I open a PR on a repo I don't own? Seems like a good option to allow people to enable, but forcing it is an unnecessary overreach.
- yakkityyak 4y agoI interpret it as: your account publishes code bits in any capacity, as opposed to a read-only account that only pulls and participates in social discussions.
