Another commenter below used the phrases high and low value accounts which gets to the crux of why 2FA is a PITA (for me). GitHub is a low value account for me.

Another commenter below used the phrases high and low value accounts which gets to the crux of why 2FA is a PITA (for me). GitHub is a low value account for me. It's basically Pinterest for code; I track interesting repos, sometimes I raise an issue, and I have dark mode turned on. I have 2-3 garbage private repos that I don't use, so if my account was compromised, it'd be like this: https://media.tenor.com/vJLaS5etgRwAAAAd/shit-wow.gif https://media.tenor.com/vJLaS5etgRwAAAAd/shit-wow.gif It would be like if Reddit started requiring 2FA to 'protect my account'. If I was using GH in a professional capacity, this would be different. But I guess I resent that I don't get to make the choice. Security Daddy at GitHub thinks I'm too stupid.
