1. How to Secure Your GitHub Account with
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
GitHub is one of the most widely used platforms for developers and teams to collaborate on
code. Because it often contains sensitive information, securing your GitHub account is
critical. Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security beyond
your password, helping protect your projects from unauthorized access.

1. What Is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?

2. Two-Factor Authentication requires you to provide two forms of verification when signing
in:
1.​Your password.​

2.​A one-time code generated by an app, text message, or hardware key.​

This makes it much harder for attackers to access your account, even if they know your
password.
2. Prerequisites
Before setting up 2FA on GitHub, you’ll need:
●​A GitHub account​

●​A smartphone with an authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy,
Microsoft Authenticator) OR a security key (like YubiKey).​

●​Recovery options (backup codes) in case you lose access to your phone.
3. How to Enable 2FA on GitHub
Step 1: Log in to GitHub
●​Go to and log into your account.​

Step 2: Navigate to Security Settings
●​In the top-right corner, click your profile picture → Settings.​

●​In the left menu, select Password and authentication.​

Step 3: Set Up Two-Factor Authentication
●​Under Two-factor authentication, click Enable two-factor authentication.​

●​Choose your preferred 2FA method:​

○​Authentication App (recommended) – Uses a time-based one-time
password (TOTP).​

○​SMS (less secure) – Code sent via text message.​

3. ○​Security Key – Hardware device for maximum security.​

Step 4: Configure an Authentication App (Recommended)
1.​Download and open an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.).​

2.​Scan the QR code shown on GitHub.​

3.​Enter the 6-digit code generated by the app into GitHub.​

Step 5: Save Recovery Codes
●​GitHub will give you a set of recovery codes.​

●​Save them in a secure location (password manager, encrypted file, or print and store
safely).​

●​These codes allow you to access your account if you lose your phone.
4. Logging In with 2FA Enabled
●​Enter your username and password as usual.​

●​GitHub will then ask for your one-time code from your authenticator app or security
key.
5. Managing 2FA for Organizations
If you belong to GitHub organizations, some may require 2FA for membership. Enabling
2FA helps:
●​Prevent unauthorized commits.​

●​Secure repositories shared with teams.
6. Best Practices for GitHub Security
●​✅ Use an authenticator app or hardware key instead of SMS (more secure).​

●​✅ Store recovery codes in multiple secure places.​

●​✅ Combine 2FA with a strong, unique password.​

4. ●​✅ Use a password manager to manage credentials.​

●​✅ Regularly review active sessions and authorized apps in your GitHub settings.
