Dunno, skype asked my password a long time ago.

It's possible to connect repositories / organizations to an external SSO. At my work place I have to re-authenticate several times a day. Luckily it usually doesn't require me to login at my work account each time and just redirects back automatically, but it adds an extra layer of protection. If someone gained access to my Github session either physically or externally it would not be enough to access my work.

I have these layers of protection between the web page and the actual code.

1. Github password

2. Github MFA

3. SSO password

4. SSO MFA

If an attacker wants to be successful, they probably need to actually use my machine as I suspect that both Github and the auth solution at work checks ip-addresses and other things that they would also need to get hold of. In that case they probably have complete control of my machine anyway and can do what they want.

More Microsoft-branded then - GH's current session handling largely predates Microsoft
