Two-factor authentication does not impact free speech in any way. It's merely an additional security measure to ensure the rightful owner is accessing the account. The exclusion of older people is indeed a valid concern. However, it's not so much the 2FA that's excluding, but rather the broader issue of digital literacy among the older population. Efforts can be made to educate and assist them in navigating these security measures. |

I will not give you my phone number to host my projects, nor will i install an app on my phone. If you're telling me I won't be able to take account actions at a certain date, as in deleting my account, Just delete it now. intrusive, unnecessary |

Github's 2FA is nothing to do with "security" blah blah ... they just want to track you ! They already implemented Geofencing and "Shadow Banning Users" . |

When is it enough? 2, 3, 4 factor, face scan ... Instead of inconveniencing and annoying users by mandating a hack on top of an already broken system maybe github should participate in a better solution. |

Totally support, whoever wants to let them use 2FA, whoever doesn't want to give the option to not use it. |

Now that Microshaft owns github; it will forever be running commercial logic on all assets. Ads are probably next but I think they are more interested in stealing Open source work that is done by the Open source Community---for profit---rather than keeping it Open source. This is obviously what is happening. WANTING (requiring) my phone number is just proof of this sham. |

Microsoft is destroying another product, a worthless policy of stupid people. They don't care about security, they want to force developers to use this 2FA shit apps. |

I've written a script to run it all on my local machine: https://gist.github.com/metux/ce43da58d9759019a0fbf4d25ccb1b00 Since quite recently, the QR image decoding isn't really needed anymore, since github added a link to show the raw key on setup. |

The admins marked anything negative as "disruptive" because they know 2FA is bullshit |

Either support SMS 2FA for all countries, or provide your own Authenticator App / Browser Extension. I'm not going to use a third party for authenticating to Github, and you don't have SMS support for my country. I'm really confused and I may jump ship. |
