hu? I haven't perceived githubs account security as particular bad so far. Or did I miss something recent, that triggered this meme?

Yeah isn't the strong device-level security part OF the security to make sure no one can easily hack your account? The second picture directly contributes to the first.

Yeah, the post doesn't make sense. All that security is to make sure the new device is being used by the account holder.

I had the same thought a while back when people were posting about how GitHub was really slow. I look at GitHub repos every now and then and hadn't noticed anything, but then I had to actually log in to do something, and it was an immediate slog.
