[core libraries] Re: intent to enable 2fa requirement for github.com/haskell org

[Simon Peyton Jones]

I have not been following this.  What is the consequence for a regular GHC developer, or someone contributing to GHC?

In any announcement please give a way to verify “am I affected?”

Thanks

Simon

Awesome!

After talking with several folks, feedback has been that best practices are to make sure the notice is a week before hand.

So what I’ll do is personally reach out to those who aren’t 2fa enabled in the Haskell gh org (and haven’t commented on this thread )and ask them to enable 2fa on their GitHub account. Perhaps I should attach a 2fa options explainer !

I’ll look at folks responses and if everyone active has made the switch over, I’ll look to do a transition next Monday or Tuesday.


Be well! (Nyc and many other places are pretty strange right now :/ )

It took me a while, but I have successfully managed to turn 2FA back
into 1FA.

In case it helps anyone else, generate your 2FA response with

$ oathtool --totp -b $the-2fa-secret

Where $the-2fa-secret is the code github gives you after the recovery
codes (initially shown as a barcode, but they'll give you the actual
code if you click the link).
