i concur - after spending so long trying to attract casual contributors, putting up a huge barrier like this is just not helpful. So, 2FA for people who area able to actually mess stuff up, absolutely, we have responsibility here and that's fine, but for casual contributors, that is precisely the
sort of thing that just outright makes people go "lol no" and go away
again, and is that really something we can afford?

From personal experience I agree, i was going to report a VLC issue, their gitlab also uses mandatory 2FA and I was very close to just giving up, and
that was something that kind of bothered me to a certain degree.

I agree with making 2FA non mandatory for non KDE "powerful" account holders.


hi,

one other side note, e.g. my GitHub account login stays after valid 2FA auth
valid in my Chromium browser even over reboots on my normal machine.

Is that something one can configure or is GitLab just not able to support this?

Makes the use on the home pc a lot less annoying.

Just forget that question, my 'remember me' checkbox was just not on ;)


Greetings
Christoph
