GitHub will disable non-2FA accounts?

Microsoft wants your phone number for the surveillance apparatus. I recall reading the excuse was that "important accounts" were going to require it because things like npm can't secure their dependencies or packages.

github supports 2FA using authentication challenges, those work without phones or phone numbers.

Only a matter of time before they demand your phone number.

You know, as part of their embrace, engulf, and extinguish strategy.

Isn't that something that can only be set up after going through a process of enabling 2FA using your phone?

Pretty sure I remember someone on here a few months ago trying to get GitHub 2FA set up, but as they have no (smart) phone there didn't seem to be any way of making it happen.
