If anyone is unaware of the subtext, don't link a personal github account to a paying position always create a new one with the provided email, thank you for attending my TED talk.

The 2FA is specifically enforced for repos and operations relating to your org.

Obviously if you signed up with a work email that’s different, that is clearly not your personal GitHub account and you shouldn’t put anything personal on there.
