GitLab account security: Verify your information for enhanced protection

GitLab is enhancing account security by implementing a new requirement for users not registered with two-factor authentication (2FA), which involves confirming a valid email address during login attempts deemed high-risk starting August 16, 2023. This measure is a response to increasing cyber threats like credential stuffing and aims to verify user identities more effectively while adding an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access. For non-2FA users, after entering a username and password, a code will be sent to their email for verification, ensuring adherence to GitLab's high security standards. Additionally, users will have a chance to update their email address once to ensure it is valid and active, facilitating smoother logins in the future. This update underscores GitLab's commitment to providing a secure and trustworthy user experience by continuously safeguarding user accounts.
