Github security is OUT OF CONTROL

It is one thing to let users opt into the security level they deem appropriate and have all the necessary tools at someones disposal to ensure a high security workflow, it is a whole other thing entirely to force uses into the very ristricting and overcompensated workflow security requirements like removing password authentication in IDE's like VS code, requiring 2factor Auth, making a user type ridiculously long url stings just to delete a repo - then make them have to sign in AGAIN and have to get an SMS message to sign in...just to delete a repo. I am not a child. I know if I want to delete something and it's getting ridiiculous the amount of steps it is now taking just to get anything done in a timely manner. I have to have 50 tabs open to get an email or sms or start working on a project due to the limits I am hitting at EVERY TURN.

I am bout ready to leave github, as I am losing my patience. This has gotten completely OUT OF CONTROL. And honestly it's a bit INSULTING.

50 tabs for sms? which of those shady non-voip providers work for you?

[JessMTermini]

neither, there is an email verification option as well (thank God, one good thing outta this whole mess, whatch that'll be the next thing they remove, browser email verification and require a phone!!) and that is usually easier since I'm already in a browser, instead of having to go find my phone!!

if they don't know who you are how does your mobile phone number "verify" your identity?
