Description

What do folks, e.g. @LLNL/admins think about requiring GitHub 2FA for the organization? I'm inclined to do this, but there are some potential issues:

- Some users don't have 2FA enabled, would need to enable or get booted from the org
- Org members: https://github.com/orgs/LLNL/people?utf8=✓&query=%20two-factor%3Adisabled
- Org collaborators: https://github.com/orgs/LLNL/outside-collaborators?utf8=✓&query=%20two-factor%3Adisabled
- What about locations that don't allow phones on site?
- Response on this from GitHub support has been that users can use recovery codes as 1 time 2FA codes. Don't know of a better way...
