Microsoft has really messed up GitHub. Logs you out automatically if you haven’t visited in a few days, constantly asks you to verify your 2FA, and the new feed makes it extremely difficult to track engagement on your own projects.

The worst one for me is that they allow you to view your recovery keys any time - IMO this is a really bad practice, recovery keys should only be shown once after a user has set up 2FA

Probably going to move to Codeberg since I’m seeing a lot of projects making the jump over there, but the real solution IMO is a federated version control system

A few weeks ago, I got a new laptop, and GitHub just denied me logging in. I had to use the recovery code. I was extremely angry because I entered the 2FA codes right, and it always just said unable to login.
