I no longer care about GitHub anymore. Since I am being forced to use 2FA starting Oct 12, I moved my repositories elsewhere. The methods they are forcing us to use are ones I am unable to use or will not use (in the case of Cell Phones).
For me, this was the straw that "broke the Camels back".
- shhsshs 3y agoThere are several methods of 2FA available that do not require a cell phone. I use KeePassXC for all of my 2FA codes, including GitHub.
- politelemon 3y agoI saw a blog post a few days ago about this a few days ago, http://ratfactor.com/leaving-github http://ratfactor.com/leaving-github Which might have been you or someone with a similar sentiment. Anyway Github's 2FA does not require a phone or SMS. I do not use a phone or SMS for Github 2FA myself, or for most sites. Might be unrelated - I also notice the blog post tries to clarify that it isn't about phone numbers, but they fail to clarify what it's actually about, and aren't interested in other methods... which is confusing.
- jmclnx 3y agoNo, that is not me. If email was allowed I would have stayed with github. But I need to access it from NetBSD, OpenBSD and Linux. No one option would work for all 3 unless I purchase some hardware or give M/S my Cell Number. If Microsoft would buy the hardware for me, the maybe my opinion would change :) But I just finished my move, so no looking back.
