Very mixed feelings on GitHub's recent approaches to security. Tighter security measures are great, but deprecating password authentication on git operations seems obtuse to me. What if I want to push a change from a machine that's not mine and doesn't have my registered SSH key on it? I don't have a Yubikey or anything similar nor do I intend to get one in the foreseeable future.
I'm with you on this. How on earth are one-off login events supposed to work? I want nothing about me logging on to be stored on that device or account other than, for example, the code I download. Maybe I'm missing something but the search I just did suggested connecting my phone via bluetooth, which is also not an option.
