Let's be honest, the majority here probably has a github account. Some of us are happy as a clam and wouldn't switch no matter what happened, but there are some who would and haven't yet. Why?

I want to have separated accounts for different sets of project...
Signed up a second account... it got suspended instantly (after I log in with my main). According to ToS, I can't have more than one account.

Nuh uh, You aren't the only provider. Headed to Gitlab, no more bs.

Was this with the same email address? I have multiple accounts for personal and work. I sometimes log out of one account and into another in the same browser, and have never had a problem. Honestly never thought it'd be a big deal.

No. Maybe it flagged dynamic IP as spam or whatever. At this point I don't really care. Got what I want.

That's hilarious because for automated access to the API, without tying to a single specific user account (for attrition purposes), my company was advised by Microsoft Support to create a service account for that API access. The process was the exact same as any other user account because... it WAS like any other user account.
