But yes, usernames are public on GitHub!
On many other systems too.
Moreover, GitHub fail to articulate what was insufficient about the SMTP authentication method that they deprecated.
While now warning about SMS authentication?
They also provide: App authentication (at least one maybe two options for this, neither of which are anything I would want to install on any device I own) but more importantly than that:
REGARDLESS of which "2FA" methodology they force users to use.
They also make people create "recovery codes".
Why not just make people create recovery codes and leave it at that?
To me, I get the impression some fucking control freak at Micro$oft/GitHub went to too many RSA conferences or has a grudge against me personally and that grudge is being reciprocated in kind.
