> You might be surprised, but the telephone is as much an annoyance as the gift of the Gods to mere mortals 'Protecting developers and consumers of the open source ecosystem from these types of attacks is the first and most critical step toward securing the supply chain.'

Internally GitHub is also testing passkeys, according to their blog post. GitHub advises using security keys and TOTPs wherever possible SMS does not provide the same level of protection and is no longer recommended under NIST 800-63B, the company said. Users can choose between 2FA methods such as TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password), SMS (Short Message Service), security keys, or GitHub Mobile as a preferred 2FA method. GitHub's blog post says their gradual rollout plan 'will let us make sure developers are able to successfully onboard, and make adjustments as needed before we scale to larger groups as the year progresses.' InfoWorld summarizes the options: Previously signed-in users will be able to reconfigure 2FA if they have misconfigured or misplaced second factors during onboarding. Twenty-eight (28) days after you enable 2FA, you'll be asked to perform a 2FA check-up while using, which validates that your 2FA setup is working correctly. Don't worry: this snooze period only starts once you've signed in after the deadline, so if you're on vacation or out of office, you'll still get that one week period to set up 2FA when you're back at your desk. You'll have the ability to snooze this notification for up to a week, but after that your ability to access your account will be limited. We'll let you know when your enablement deadline is getting close, and once it has passed you will be required to enable 2FA the first time you access. You'll have 45 days to configure 2FA on your account - before that date nothing will change about using GitHub except for the reminders. If your account is selected for enrollment, you will be notified via email and see a banner on, asking you to enroll. By the end of 2023, GitHub will require all code contributors to enable two-factor authentication - part of 'a platform-wide effort to secure software development by improving account security.'īut on Monday they'll start rolling it out, according to a new blog post, reaching out to 'smaller' groups of developers and administrators 'to notify them of their 2FA enrollment requirement.'
