I have discovered someone tried to break into my GitHub account (you can check yourself by going to https://github.com/settings/security-log <https://github.com/settings/security-log> and looking for "failed to login" attempts for potentially odd geographical locations for yourself).

I checked and the only logins are me, at home, with the same IP address. (I realize that this could change.) My only development system is on my desktop, so github *could* let me check a box to use the location as a quasi 2nd factor. If the IP address changes, they *could* immediately email (if requested).
