i put up with that 2fa demand nonsense.

there was a button to get the request as a text string instead of that
anoying qr.

i used totp-cli to get an answer to gh's request.  their system was
happy with that.

do be sure to save the github-recovery-codes.txt they privide after the
challenge and reply.

as well as the data file for whichever software you use.

gentoo has at least:

app-crypt/totp-cli-bin (in the guru overlay)
app-admin/keepassxc

which work.  the latter has both gui and cli ui's.

other distributions should also have options.

debias sid has at least:

keepassxc-full/unstable
keepassxc-minimal/unstable

and in bookworm and earlier:

keepassxc/stable

i didn't look for others.
