GitHub Account Setup

Creating Your GitHub Account

If you don’t already have a GitHub account for Axioned, create one at github.com.

Username

Use the following format: first letter of your last name + first name + “axioned”

Name	Username
John Doe	djohnaxioned
Jane Smith	sjaneaxioned

All lowercase, no spaces or special characters.

Email

Register with your Axioned email address ([email protected]).

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

2FA is mandatory for all Axioned GitHub accounts.

Go to Settings → Password and authentication → Two-factor authentication and enable it.

Recommended authenticator apps

Use an authenticator app that syncs across devices so you don’t lose access if you change or lose your phone.

Avoid Google Authenticator

We recommend against Google Authenticator. It does not sync across devices — if you lose your phone and don’t have your backup codes stored safely, you will lose access to your account permanently.

Recommended alternatives:

• 1Password — syncs across devices, works as both a password manager and TOTP authenticator
• Authy — free, syncs across devices with encrypted backups
• Bitwarden — open-source, syncs across devices, built-in TOTP support (premium)

Save your backup codes

GitHub will generate backup codes during 2FA setup. Store these somewhere safe (e.g. your password manager or a secure note). These are your recovery option if you ever lose access to your authenticator.

Joining the Axioned GitHub Organisation

Once your account is set up, let your team lead or IT admin know your GitHub username. You’ll be sent an invitation to join the Axioned GitHub organisation.

Accept the invitation via email or by visiting github.com/axioned.
