Can I use GitHub's 2-Factor Authentication wit

问题:

We like TortoiseGit, and want to take advantage of GitHub's 2-Factor Authentication...but the two don't seem to want to work together.

Has anyone worked out a solution to this?

回答1:

The GitHub blog post about 2-Factor Authentication mentions that you can generate a "personal access token", that can be used in place of a password when 2-Factor Auth is enabled:

I'm not sure if it will actually work with TortoiseGit, but maybe you can give it a try? You can generate an access token at the Authorized applications settings page:

To compliment Cupcake's answer, use the Personal Access token feature within GitHub.com while using TortoiseGit:

1. Set up 2-step auth.

2. Set up a personal access token - taking note of the generated token (use the Copy to clipboard button next to the generated token).

3. Set TortoiseGit to remember your password as detailed here.

4. Now perform a pull operation on GitHub.com, enter your username, but instead of using your normal password, use the token that was generated in step #2.

5. Perform another pull operation on GitHub.com to ensure the token is remembered.

You will have to generate access token to pull/push code in Github having two factor authentication using tortoise . Use this token as password.

In case someone has the same problem - using access tokens with TortoiseGit works in general, though for some reason I couldn't force it to use normal authentication prompt, so I had to do git clone https://ghusername:[e-mail]/repo.git
