The VideoLAN Forums

I only seem to have 2FA keys for gitlab.org and not code.videolan.org, so I can't connect. I did try going through my gitlab.org account, but I still get the 2FA prompt.

Can anyone indicate how I can work through this issue?

This 2FA thing is a nightmare, especially for people who just want to help by reporting bugs. There are so many posts about that.
For some reason my account on code.videolan.org is deactivated. Months ago I asked admins to reactivate it but I got no answer yet. When it's about the websites it's taking months, if not years, for things to change and evolve so I've stopped wasting my time with that.

I understand why it’s there, but it really makes your phone key to your existence. You lose your phone and you might as well be a fraud.

I’ll wait a few days and then try the dev mailing list or reach out directly to whoever I can.

Yes, I agree. That and the use of commercial private companies like Google. Especially when it's about to help free and open source software and a non-profit organization on my free time.
Non sense.

There are lots of apps to do the same, that you can run on your machines, locally: 2FA is easy.
