Any other business (<5 mins) - 15:01 UK
-
2 Factor authentication on GitHub (Chris)
- attempted security break-ins, including botnet trying passwords against GitHub user accounts
- Chris’ GitHub account was frozen due to large number of attack attempts
-
big concern over admin rights over repositories, and access to internal repositories
- so such users are the first concern
- two-factor authentication is a nice solution available from GitHub
-
SSH keys still work as before for pushing with git, etc.
- but please do only use SSH keys that have a passphrase
-
SSH key chain commands will probably reveal which have passphrases
- Chris will post something about how to tell
-
user + password will not work with scc (perhaps even pygithub) at present
- tokens should be okay
-
