Just wondering what people are using to meet the 2FA requirement GitHub has been rolling out. I don't love the idea of having an authenticator app installed on my phone just to log into GitHub. And really don't want to give them my phone number just to log in.
Last year, we announced our commitment to require all developers who contribute code on GitHub.com to enable two-factor authentication (2FA)...
SMS 2FA is still better than no 2FA.
Not if the org uses SMS auth as a recover method for your "lost" password
Also putting a phone number into a DB means the attackers who dump the DB now have a very effective way to phish or exploit you with a large attack surface.
I generally don't let my team enter phone numbers into their account data.
But it should be the last resort. It makes sense why it's being phased out
Well we could be using passkeys right now if Big Tech weren't trying to tie them to their own platforms! 🤷
