We like TortoiseGit, and want to take advantage of GitHub's 2-Factor Authentication...but the two don't seem to want to work together.
Has anyone worked out a solution to this?
The GitHub blog post about 2-Factor Authentication mentions that you can generate a "personal access token", that can be used in place of a password when 2-Factor Auth is enabled:
I'm not sure if it will actually work with TortoiseGit, but maybe you can give it a try? You can generate an access token at the Authorized applications settings page:
To compliment Cupcake's answer, use the Personal Access token feature within GitHub.com while using TortoiseGit:
Set up a personal access token - taking note of the generated token (use the Copy to clipboard button next to the generated token).
Set TortoiseGit to remember your password as detailed here.
Now perform a pull operation on GitHub.com, enter your username, but instead of using your normal password, use the token that was generated in step #2.
Perform another pull operation on GitHub.com to ensure the token is remembered.
In case someone has the same problem - using access tokens with TortoiseGit works in general, though for some reason I couldn't force it to use normal authentication prompt, so I had to do git clone https://ghusername:accesstoken@github.com/repo.git
You will have to generate access token to pull/push code in Github having two factor authentication using tortoise . Use this token as password.
