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 @BrodieOnLinux idk what iTAN is but github supports TOTP which is an open and offline standard

@10volt @thatguyoverthere @BrodieOnLinux

#iTAN are numerized, pre-generated TANs that get requested for randomized 2FA...

And no, #TOTP / #HOTP & #SMS-#TAN are NOT practical for numerous reasons I CANNOT disclose...
