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.

There is literally no bank in my country that doesn’t use sms for 2fa.

Yes banks are terrible about this, and it makes no sense

what happens if you don’t have a phone number? you’re just prevented from having a bank account?

You can have a bank account, but you wouldn’t be able to do online or mobile banking.

Sms is the only 2fa option (some offer email as well, but last I checked all fall back on sms), and it’s mandatory for online/mobile.
