I have been at Magento Live Australia so have not had time to try myself yet, However we initially used community forum credentials - but we changed the approach to use tokens. If you have an account with us, log in using your email address.
The Magento Marketplace, where Magento® 2 and third-party component Composer packages are stored, requires authentication.
To provide secure authentication, it's possibtle to generate a pair 32-¬¬character authentication token that you can use to access the right package. You generate, access, and can also delete or regenerate your keys using Magento® Marketplace.
- Step 2: Change the Encryption Key. On the Admin sidebar, go to System Other Settings Manage Encryption Key. Do one of the following: To generate a new key, set Auto-generate Key to Yes. To use a different key, set Auto-generate Key to No. Then in the New Key field, enter or paste the key that you want to use. Click Change Encryption Key. Keep a record of the new key in a secure location.
- Magento Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) improves security by requiring two-step authentication to access the Magento Admin UI from all devices. The extension supports multiple authenticators including Google Authenticator, Authy, Duo, and U2F keys. It applies to Magento Admin UI users only; it does not apply to storefront customer accounts.
- Magento authentication keys (Composer keys) Magento authentication keys are 32-character authentication tokens that provide secure access to the Magento 2 Composer repository (repo.magento.com), and any other Git services required for Magento development such as GitHub.
