2FA is definitely a reason to deploy software like keycloak, but in the |
| 43 |
first rollout I don't expect to enforce 2FA. Ideally we would deploy the |
| 44 |
U2F support in keycloak and then, similar to our earlier program, offer |
| 45 |
discounted or free u2f devices for Gentoo developers; this would likely be |
| 46 |
on a 1-2 year timeframe. |

Is there some reason you don't want to use 2FA? |
