uProtocol Committers (et. al.),
It is important that all of us enable 2FA ASAP for our github accounts, information from Eclipse was sent on
January 14th and February 2nd to this effect. If you do not enable 2FA there could be disruptions in access starting April 30th.
Why is 2FA important?
2FA adds an extra layer of security to ensure that individuals attempting to access an online account are who they claim to be. After entering their username and password, a user must provide another form of verification. This could be a code received via text
message, an app on your smartphone, or a hardware security key. Enabling 2FA is nowadays a standard security practice across many platforms.
What happens if those members don't enable 2FA?
Failing to enable 2FA on their GitHub account by April 30th will result in temporary loss of access to the Eclipse uProtocol repositories. Consequently, they will be unable to push new code or merge pull requests. While they can still fork the repositories
and work on their fork, direct contributions to the project repositories will be restricted until 2FA is enabled.
How to enable 2FA on their GitHub account?
GitHub provides
detailed instructions for enabling 2FA. Should you need assistance, feel free to reach out to their
support team. For any further questions or assistance in setting up 2FA, do not hesitate to open a ticket on our
HelpDesk or comment on the
ticket tracking this initiative.
Thank you for your cooperation and dedication to security.
