Hello Sieghard. Hum, I asked it to our ChatGPT friend:
Q: Some Russian friend told me that from 5/1/2025 Github will need 2 factors identification but this is not allowed for Russia. Is it true? A: Your Russian friend is correct about GitHub's upcoming two-factor authentication (2FA) requirement, but there seems to be some misunderstanding regarding its implementation in Russia. Starting from March 2023, GitHub began rolling out mandatory 2FA for all users contributing to the platform, and this requirement will be fully enforced by May 2025. However, GitHub supports multiple forms of 2FA, including Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) apps, which should work in most regions, including Russia. The confusion might arise from the fact that GitHub's SMS-based authentication is not supported in all countries, and Russia is not currently on the list of countries where SMS delivery for 2FA is guaranteed. That being said, users in unsupported regions, including Russia, can still use other methods like authentication apps (e.g., Google Authenticator) GitHub Docs<https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/securing-your-account-with-two-factor-authentication-2fa?apiVersion=2022-11-28> GitHub Docs<https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/securing-your-account-with-two-factor-authentication-2fa/countries-where-sms-authentication-is-supported> . In short, while SMS-based 2FA might not be available in Russia, other methods like TOTP apps are still fully functional and can be used to comply with GitHub's new security requirements. [END Chatgpt] -------------- Hum, ok but Google Authenticator is restricted in Russia. That said, with Codeberg no need yet 2 factor.
