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 don’t like how a lot of things require their own custom app, especially when there’s no automatic notification. I need to try and remember what the app is called, open it, navigate through, then approve it

Use a password manager that lets you autofill 2fa, like Bitwarden.

Allowing a smartphone access to anything sensitive is even worse advice. Smartphones are notoriously insecure.
You’re right. Dont grant your smartphone access to your GitHub. Just give it one factor.
