that period, GitLab (the open source project) has seen tremendous
growth both in user community and functionality. Our own GitLab instance
has grown quite a bit as well. With almost 700 projects and nearly 500
users, it's quite a bit bigger now than the initial CVS migration which
resulted in 379 projects and 395 users. (We did both the Git and Darcs
migrations after that, which added to the growth.)</div><div><br></div><div>Originally,
we decided we wanted to create our own accounts and not support
account-auto-creation (based on experience shared by GitLab.com). Today,
GitLab lets itself be configured to auto-create accounts from GitHub
using GitHub credentials. <br></div><div>We have long supported the
possibility of allowing accounts to be tied to Google and GitHub OAuth2
for the purpose of authentication. Additionally, we support 2FA these
days.</div><div>I'm wondering if we can be a bit more relaxed with
account creation (allowing auto-creation), but be a bit more strict on
account login: i.e. require 2FA.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Auto-creation seems nice since it lowers the barrier to entry for people wanting to create create projects or filing bugs, and there's also less work for the admins. But I thought one reason you stopped doing this was the number of spam accounts.

(I'm finally going to set up 2FA for my personal accounts using security keys, so this comes at a good time. I've had to add 2FA to my github account already, using the authenticator app.)</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>Do you have any opinion on the matter?</div><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="m_1236821183648981752gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Bye,<div><br></div><div>Erik.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://efficito.com/" target="_blank">http://efficito.com</a> -- Hosted accounting and ERP.</div><div>Robust and Flexible.
