GitHub now requiring 2FA for all contributors,what authenticator apps you using?

8•nickcageinacage•7h ago

GitHub is rolling out mandatory 2FA for accounts that contribute code, with a 45-day window to enroll.

Aegis, Raivo, or Ente are the ones that have most promise from what I've read. Any other recommendations? or thoughts on those three in particular.

That's been pending for a while, I'll just stop contributing code.

Microsoft showing 2FA down everyone's throat is quite painful. I don't for a second believe they are only using my phone number for authentication. They are storing the data and they are correlating it with other apps they force 2FA on.

So don't give them your phone number.

Arguing against 2FA is like arguing that they shouldn't bash your password because it means you can't see your password to help remember it.
