<aside> 👿 The Internet’s a scary place, and we keep most of our cool stuff there. We need to do everything we can to keep the baddies out. That way we can sleep better at night, without the teeth grinding and nail-biting and other anxious habits that might emerge worrying that baddies are accessing our stuff.

tl;dr - use 2FA everywhere you can. use a password manager like lastpass/1password etc., too.Instructions on enabling 2FA for Google Accounts can be found at:https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/180744?hl=en
A day or so after your start date, 2FA enforcement is enabled, requiring 2FA in order for you to access your google account.
Instructions on enabling 2FA for Github can be found at:https://help.github.com/articles/configuring-two-factor-authentication-via-a-totp-mobile-app/
Note: Github ain’t messing around. If you lose your 2FA access method, it’s very unlikely that they will reset your account and let you back in. Be sure to print out those backup codes! Seriously. On paper. Don’t store them on your phone.
<aside> ⛔ If you've lost access to your account after enabling two-factor authentication, GitHub can't help you gain access again. Having access to your recovery codes in a secure place, or establishing a secondary mobile phone number for recovery, will get you back into your account.
