i usually use sms way but it's really sad to know my country isn't listed , this issue been since 2020 i guess

@zakaria-chahboun as I mentioned above this means at this time we cannot reliably deliver texts messages to your country, but we do revisit the list on a regular visit. We do not add countries with low deliverability rates, because it leads to users being locked out of their accounts when they can’t receive the SMS for 2FA.

Regardless of country, we recommend you use a TOTP app instead, for more information on how to set that up, review our documentation Configuring Two Factor Authentication Using a TOTP app.

hello @queenofcorgis , i too couldnt find morocco when doing 2fa , so i tried TOTP , but when i try to submit an appeal form , they only prompt me with sms 2fa with no option for TOTP

Hi @InfoXMax 👋🏾

Thank so much for writing in. If your country is not on the list, then we aren't currently able to reliably deliver text messages to your country. We track delivery rates across all countries, including ones not in the list, and review it to understand when we have to remove countries or can add them back. We do not add countries with low deliverability rates, because it leads to users being locked out of their accounts when they can’t receive the SMS for 2FA.

If GitHub doesn’t support two-factor authentication via text message for your country of residence, you must set up authentication via a TOTP application. For more information on how to configure 2FA, please review our documentation.

Let me know if you have any additional questions. Thanks!
