I have been an expat in China for five long years, I know perfectly what does it mean software serving "power and big financial interests" and this should remain in the meaning of this thread when it about 2FA auth serving Github. -- Daniele Bonini Aug 31, 2023 04:32:36 lain. : > > Microsoft outright owns Github itself, it acquired Github back in 2018, > yet go many "I HATE EVERYTHING MICROSOFT" people choose to ignore that > fact.

If you donate, you don't pull any strings, and you're not part of the decission making process, you are if you sponsor or god forbid, invest though. Microsoft outright owns Github itself, it acquired Github back in 2018, yet go many "I HATE EVERYTHING MICROSOFT" people choose to ignore that fact. -- lain.

Re: OT: Github requiring 2FA auth, meaning
Finally I activated a couple of 2FA options on my Github account including the app authentication, for helping I include also the link of the app link I'm just checking out (2FAS app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twofasapp) Thinking this one as the least losing solution. Keep mainly the "meaning" of thread and thanks everyone for the replies. -- Daniele Bonini Aug 29, 2023 23:08:41 Stuart Henderson : > On 2023-08-29, Daniele B. wrote: >> Today I received comunication that my Github account "needs" 2FA >> authentication before 12th October 2023. > > you can use a fido key, or you can use totp (which doesn't need any > hardware if you don't care about storing the key in an enclave, you > can just use oathtool or similar)

OT: Github requiring 2FA auth, meaning
Hello everyone, Today I received comunication that my Github account "needs" 2FA authentication before 12th October 2023. Since today powers and financial interests will be able to block me access to the Github platform by their discrection. All ready for that? My reccomandation: let's start to think to Github alternatives, most probably distributed. http://5md.io/l/2862274 -- Daniele Bonini
