Help us test PyPI's 2-Factor Auth!
Warehouse is the code behind the Python Package Repository (PyPI) (source code on GitHub,roadmap). We are seeking maintainers of Projects on PyPI to test our new two-factor auth functionality and send us bug reports.
Feedback on user experience, accessibility, and overall ease of use are welcome; we want to support your workflows for account management and package maintainership. Go to the test site at https://test.pypi.org/ and try it out!

Things to test
Most of these you can test on pypi.org once you opt into the private beta. For testing destructive actions, like removing an owner, deleting a project, or deleting a release, please use test.pypi.org.
Workflows
- Add/Remove 2FA token using TOTP
- Add/Remove Maintainer
- Add/Remove Owner
- Transition Ownership
- User Registration and Confirmation
- Login/Logout
- Password Reset
- Remove a project
- Remove a release
Setting up a TOTP application
Users who have chosen to set up two factor authentication (2FA) on their PyPI account must, once 2FA is set up, provide a second method of identity verification (other than their username and password) for each login.
PyPI currently supports a single 2FA method: Generating a code through a TOTP application.
When enabling two factor authentication (2FA) via TOTP in your account admin, you are asked to provision an application (usually a mobile phone app) in order to generate authentication codes. Popular applications include:
Security
If you find any potential security vulnerabilities, please follow our published security policy. Please don't report security issues in Warehouse via GitHub, IRC, or mailing lists. Instead, please directly email one or more of our maintainers.

Notice
We're working hard on nearly every aspect of the Warehouse codebase to get it ready for production deployment and are shipping features nearly every day, so check back and maybe even try using https://pypi.org for your maintainer activities full time. Due to the rate of change some errors, downtime, and outright broken features may occur. We have some automated reporting of the scenarios in place, but let us know!
Reminder! Sign up for the PyPI Announcement Mailing List to be kept in the loop as we continue this process!
