Would have been less if GitHub had just allowed proper SSO instead of this hybrid account mixing.
I get that the hybrid method might be desirable for contractors or similar who have many hats, but for a regular employee it just adds friction for no benefit.
- nightpool 7mo agoI've never had that issue with Github—I think their account mixing setup reduces the amount of work I have to do to sign in 100x compared to other SSO systems I use.
- magicalhippo 7mo agoYou must have used some weird other SSO systems is the only explanation I have. GitHub has all the normal SSO stuff as anything else we use, but on top of the GitHub-specific account login. Everywhere else I just log in via SSO, in GitHub I log in first to GitHub (with its own MFA) and then the same SSO step as anywhere else.
- nightpool 7mo agoI've never had to log in to Github as part of my daily flow. Only once to set up a new computer. Are you logging in using an incognito window or something?
- magicalhippo 7mo agoInteresting. Perhaps it's because I'm not using GitHub daily, we're migrating to GitHub so I still do work in repos which live in the old system. Also, perhaps I'm more affected because I'm doing org admin stuff as well.
