GitHub to require 2FA on accounts by October 6, 2023

Raising the bar for software security: GitHub 2FA begins March 13

On March 13, we will officially begin rolling out our initiative to require all developers who contribute code on GitHub.com to enable one or more forms of two-factor authentication (2FA) by the end of 2023. Read on to learn about what the process entails and how you can help secure the software supply chain with 2FA.

I personally am fine with this.

Hard disagree. I do not want to have 2FA for every shittly little thing I do not care about.

Yeah. GitHub makes sense because most users are writing code that can be executed by others. That makes GitHub accounts security critical.

But a Lemmy account? Naw, you lose almost nothing if that gets compromised. A little bit of history and subscriptions, mostly.

I'm in a discord that for some reason "requires" 2FA. Based on searching, I think they give everyone some kinda admin role or something? It doesn't actually require 2FA, but it shows a very annoying warning that covers up a bunch of the channel selection screen. But despite that, I don't really wanna deal with the hassle of 2FA on a chat app that's basically consequence free for me if it gets exploited.
