Re: [Csnd-dev] Seeking help! with 2FA

I'm using Google Authenticator on my Android phone. It seems to work fine
for me. But I got lucky I think. It just worked without me having to do
anything. I simply installed it, set the account to use the same email
address that I use in github, and now whenever I need to sign into github
from a new device, my phone gets pinged the code.
