I'm not best pleased that github is going to enforce me to use 2FA in the next month or two.

Security through trusted third parties is attractive but danger is lurking within that model.

Anyway, has anyone decided to do anything other than the obvious "authenticator app on the phone"? Because I'm pretty wary of it.

Why don't you like yubikey? I've got several registered to my GitHub account so none are a single point of failure.

YubiKeys are great and more people should use them - also great to use as a PGP ‘smart card’, way way better than having a hot key on a work computer

But a free-er open-sourcer competitor would be amazing, Yubico a bit Ledger-like for my taste

(Also also you can use a Ledger like a YubiKey which is handy as a backup)
