Hi. I'm somewhat reluctant to use 2FA for services unless they force me to, because it makes it easy to permanently lose access to an account if I lose all my 2FA devices, which is not that unlikely to happen.
But if it's a big deal for you, I can think it over.
When you enable 2FA, you can print a picture of the QR code to activate another device, and they'll give you other one-time-use codes you can print at any time. These can then be stored with your other important documents, for when you ever need them. Finally, you can also set a backup phone number. https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/recovering-your-account-if-you-lose-your-2fa-credentials
It would be really nice if you can. I agree with @vtjnash that it is usually not an issue (and you can interact with GH support in the worst case to regain access).
Hi, I have enabled 2FA.
Thank you @hikari-no-yume. Really appreciate it.
@hikari-no-yume Would it be possible for you to enable 2FA on your github account? We generally like having 2FA on all the Julia related packages - and I can't enable it in this org since it will otherwise remove you. Thanks.
