Github REQUIRES 2FA: What This Means For You?

YouTube

@BrodieOnLinux it means that if #GitHub doesn't support any good #offline - capable #2FA like #iTAN, a lot of folks won't use it at all!

Espechally since they don't support EVERY NATION AND NETWORK nor can one expect to have a dedicaded and secure phone number for that!

@thatguyoverthere @BrodieOnLinux it does require one to have a device to run it on tho.

Also nothing prevents them from generating iTAN lists and just request a randomized unused entry from it.

It's not as if they'll require it for every push and every merge of code.

@kkarhan @thatguyoverthere You have a computer

@BrodieOnLinux @thatguyoverthere yes but putting #2FA on the same machine is kinda killing the security advantage.

The idea of Two-Factor - Authentification is to prevent someone from creating chaos if they gain access to an account or it's credentials...
