[Action Needed] Enable two factor authentication on Github or lose access to Human Exposure November 22

[andychase]

Hello GitHub Users!

We are migrating this GitHub org onto GitHub Enterprise. however by November 22th, it is important that you set up two factor authentication in your account.

November 22th or after, we will be enforcing two-factor authentication and users who have not set this up will be removed until they set it up. Two-factor authentication with GitHub will only be required at a new login, not at the start of each session. On that day, GitHub users added as org members will start seeing a prompt to authenticate with their PIV card. Any contractors or collaborators who do not have one should contact their org owner to be converted to an external collaborator.

There are two options for two-factor authentication:

• You can enter in a phone number to receive an SMS code when you log in to GitHub. This phone number is securely collected by GitHub and only used for this purpose.

• Or you can install a mobile authenticator app which displays your two factor authentication codes with or without cell phone coverage. This is useful if you prefer not to receive text messages or may be working in environments where you cannot receive them.

GitHub has step by step instructions on how to set up two factor authentication here: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/securing-your-account-with-two-factor-authentication-2fa/configuring-two-factor-authentication

As part of the process, you will be prompted to download a recovery code file, please save this file locally in case you lose access to the two-factor authentication method you set up.

If you need assistance you can contact us at github@epa.gov
