Any way to get around 2FA on GitHub?

For a few accounts I prefer convenience, my "2FA bypass" takes half a second typing - "`1", which expands to a call to https://github.com/rsc/2fa using Typinator and puts the code inline...

Sure, take a look at the write-up here: https://github.com/rsc/2fa and once you have it working on command line, its just a little wrapper with AutoHotKey/Typinator I guess.

The idea came from https://www.raycast.com/cjdenio/two-factor-authentication-co... which is another "almost as fast" way to do the same.
