I heard from GitHub Two-Factor Authentication](https://github.com/blog/1614-two-factor-authentication) nearly a couple of days ago when I was reading my RSS feed. I enabled it and couldn' push to any of my repositories anymore. Learn in this blog post how to fix it.

Two-Factor Authentication

"Is a process involving two stages to verify the identity of an entity trying to access services in a computer or in a network". Github solves this authentication with sending an SMS to a device which wants to push to their platform.

[attaching this to a CloudFlare survey why I left them (for DNSimple)]

I was a free user using CloudFlare only for DNS, chiefly because it can simulate CNAME at an apex domain. The apex domains mathdown.net,mathdown.com point to mathdown-cben.rhcloud.com. Cloudflare "CNAME-flattening" nicely returns an A record; unfortunately it's served with a huge TTL of 7 days(!), which causes a long outage when the underlying IP changes.

I asked support how I can lower the TTL (BTW it's great that you provide free support at all) and was told [https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/requests/522551, emphasis mine]:

This is based on the TTL of your authoritative provider for mathdown-cben.rhcloud.com:

# Copy user permissions to group permissions:

# Make new files inherit the group of the container directory
