So that's a security requirement, similar to on-line banking services? That's a requirement within the EUR, as you probabely know, and is meant to reduce bad uses or even destroying of sensitive data.

And, it defies me what the phrase "countries that are not slaves to the master" should mean? But in any way, that seems that it might become (muh) more difficult to use (Microsoft property) github, or will that apply only to contributors? -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
