How is everyone handling the 2FA requirement for GitHub? (docs.github.com)

Just wondering what people are using to meet the 2FA requirement GitHub has been rolling out. I don’t love the idea of having an authenticator app installed on my phone just to log into GitHub. And really don’t want to give them my phone number just to log in....

nrbray,

same, a simple habit that is secure, I use it always with maximum privacy. One day you will be in a rush, under stress, affected by age, and use your old habits with a valuable asset…

These 2 are worth a careful look

  • ledger and its derivatives
  • quickfile

I am from the UK and been doing this for over 10 years, with a CSV general ledger.

I’ve studied many accounting packages, all seem over complex and obscure the simplicity of the task.

To work with an accountant I would choose quickfile. It is remarkable, and one very smart person I expect to choose the best application uses it so I feel that it has credibility.

Never made it. After I missed the meeting I didn’t see the event on nextcloud, then went to look at the event on thunderbird, and...

nrbray,

Thank you for pointing out Davx blindly follows NET_CAPABILITY… which calls home. I avoid data mining apps but don’t have a firewall to protect from these cases, may I ask what you recommend?
