" You can use a terminal program called pass (pass otp, to be precise), or you can get a special USB stick (yubico). You'll need to authorise your browser once, and typically as long as you don't log out/reboot, you remain authorised."
Thanks, but this is way too complicated for me. I do not want to deal with any of this. I can only handle login using account+password. If I have to do more to login to a web site, I am not going to bother and not interested. If sagemath can setup either usenet group (can https://groups.google.com/g/sage-support be used for this?) or email address to send bug reports, that will be much better and much easier for many people I am sure.
