Disabling two-factor authentication for your personal account
If you disable two-factor authentication for your personal account, you may lose access to organizations you belong to.
Warning
If you're a member or outside collaborator to a repository of an organization that requires two-factor authentication and you disable 2FA, you'll be automatically removed from the organization, and you'll lose your access to their repositories. To regain access to the organization, re-enable two-factor authentication and contact an organization owner.
We strongly recommend using two-factor authentication (2FA) to secure your account. If you need to disable 2FA, we recommend re-enabling it as soon as possible.
If your organization requires two-factor authentication and you're a member, owner, or an outside collaborator on a repository of your organization, you must first leave your organization before you can disable two-factor authentication.
To remove yourself from your organization:
- As an organization member or owner, see Removing yourself from an organization.
- As an outside collaborator, ask an organization owner or repository administrator to remove you from the organization's repositories. For more information, see Viewing people's roles in an organization and Removing an outside collaborator from an organization repository.
