Two month ago, in October 2022, KDE's GitLab made me use a two-factor authentication (2FA). Without a second factor, I was no longer able to push code, comment on merge requests, or contribute anything meaningful on KDE Invent. For a long time, I have known I should use two-factor authentication for my important accounts; especially for those accounts used to commit code other people are executing because they trust me. But I was too lazy to have everything prepared to use the second factor. Thanks to Ben and the KDE infrastructure team, there were no more excuses and I had to set up a secure login.
