Add Ukraine phone code to two-factor authentication in the "Account Security"

[lukinairina90]

Had troubles with enabling two-factor authentification, as I couldn't find my country (Ukraine ) phone code, which starts from +38 . Had this issue using MacOS Monterey, on the Intel ICore9 . The screenshot provided

[olkrash]

Also have this issue in MacOS. But I was the lucky one who did two-factor earlier, when this bug weren't in the GitHub.

[evstropovv]

Are there any updates?

[ozahorulia]

Anything? I can't set up 2FA because of this.

You can still use TOTP, that doesn't require any kind of mobile connection: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/securing-your-account-with-two-factor-authentication-2fa/configuring-two-factor-authentication#configuring-two-factor-authentication-using-a-totp-mobile-app

That makes it more secure, but also more critical to keep your recovery codes safe (because a re-issued SIM won't help if you lose the TOTP secret).

The country code for Ukraine is +380. And it is an abuse that Ukraine is not on the list, still. GitHub, fix it ASAP!

[Vlad-Vargan]

Where is Ukraine?

[name-k]

Any info on this matter? Need to add Ukrainian too

[AndSviat]

What's funny is ... I can actually get an SMS on my old phone number to access GitHub. I only can't change it to the new number. In other words, the excuse GitHub uses to ignore Ukraine is inexcusable.

Please add Ukraine code(+380)

[maxwhite]

could you please add Ukraine ?

For anyone who stumbled upon this discussion from search results, the answer to "why" is most likely given here: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/securing-your-account-with-two-factor-authentication-2fa/countries-where-sms-authentication-is-supported

Because of delivery success rates, GitHub only supports two-factor authentication via SMS for certain countries

TOTP works just fine, I don't know why you act so entitled and feel you can demand the SMS support. "Ukraine fatigue" is getting real and I say it as a Ukrainian living (and serving) in Ukraine.

[MemoryDreams]

It's unfair to make 2fa mandatory and not allow SMS verification. I don't want to install any third-party apps or extensions.

[Dolfost]

Same...

[Patlatus]

well, how can you require to enable mandatory 2fa and not allow the option to setup sms 2fa for Ukrainian cell phone number?

[Patlatus]

I understand, I could potentially use some third-party mfa, but what if I lose my phone or access to that mfa app, would it mean that I would lose access to my github account completely? If I could attach to Ukrainian cell phone number and if I lost the sim card, I could still restore my phone number.

[Iuriy-Budnikov]

Any updates on this issue?

[clamor-s]

If Github enforces 2fa without ability to use SMS maybe community should move to more reliable platform?

[bdovh]

do you have any alternatives in mind? is there any way to get some analogues of free private repositories and free github actions for pet projects?

[clamor-s]

Gitlab

[amarynets]

GitHub why you cannot add Ukraine code +380 for SMS verification, it is just one line in DB(I hope)

[kostyabakay]

GitHub please add Ukrainian code!

[kateburovova]

Feeling left out with my Ukrainian phone number 🥲

[Akucuki]

Add the Ukrainian code!

[muraval]

Hey, I have just checked: still no support for Ukrainian phone numbers. Please add

[leonardooleg]

[bohdanm-adorama]

[slyk]

Any news?

[rsimenok]

I am still having this issue.

[KestasV]

Elon and X clearly hate Ukraine

Yet i see thousands of Russian bots posting Russian bullshit everywhere.
Fuck X, fuck this broken piece of shit.

[yaroslav-mygal]

Look like Github ignoring us. Years and any feedback.

Please add Ukraine code(+380)

Thanks.
