CTOnews.com, August 10, Python third-party suite repository PyPI (Python Package Index) announced in its official blog in May this year that in order to improve the security of the platform, account double authentication must be enabled for any project or organization account maintained on PyPI.

At present, this mandatory requirement is already in effect, and all software publishers need to enable this login authentication, otherwise they will not be able to log in to the platform account.

However, for users who just want to browse the PyPI website, download and install the package, they do not need to sign up for an additional PyPI account, so this "account double authentication" requirement will not affect these users.

▲ source Python Package Index website the current PyPI platform does not enable double authentication of the new account, when trying to carry out relevant management operations, will be rejected by the system, and forced to be redirected to the "double authentication" page.

CTOnews.com reported earlier that the PyPI platform was subpoenaed by the US Department of Justice at the beginning of this year under the influence of malicious users and projects, so it had to "temporarily shut down new user registration" and "new project upload function."

"the mandatory use of double authentication for all accounts is part of a long-term commitment to enhance the security of the platform, which prevents the disclosure of users' login credentials and related API and reduces the number of malware on the platform," the PyPI team said earlier.
