What to Consider Before Enforcing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on GitHub

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is becoming a crucial security measure in the software supply chain industry due to increasing data breaches and malicious activities. GitHub MFA can significantly reduce security risks by adding an extra layer of protection beyond traditional password-based authentication.

Ensuring proper communication with team members about the requirement for MFA is essential to avoid confusion and disruption in workflows.
