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.
That sounds good. I still have a working login somehow, but unfortunately I can’t disable authy, because they want a code to do that, and they won’t accept those that I have, even though it was working when I have set it up.
I don’t. Not sure whether they even provided those when I have set it up, maybe they thought that since it’s stored online you can’t just lose it, but I really don’t remember whether there was any I could have saved. It way years ago.
Also, thinking about it, the prompt does not give an option to use a recovery code, but only to try with the phone number (which is dead by now), or contact support.
tbf, that’s a bit on you. The whole point of 2FA is to prove that you are you. and if you completely killed that factor without deactivating it first or having a backup in any way, I can see the support not doing much. I’d be pissed if someone could just contact support and deactivate my 2FA method

do you have the backup codes somewhere? Could help
