Don't they already offer a 2FA option now? Why not just let people use it who want to, and leave everyone else alone?

I am an adult. If I want to sacrifice some security in the name of convenience, I should have that option. All this is doing, is pissing me off, and giving me one more reason to move to another platform.

I think a good compromise is to allow organizations to opt to require 2FA in order to access their repositories, and allow individuals to opt to require 2FA for write permissions in their repositories (public or private).

The organizational control is already the case :) I had to set it up when I was added to my work's GitHub org.
