I want to add a site that's not currently using two factor authentication to the list

A site added to the list that doesn't currently support two factor authentication must fit our site criteria. If you think this site does then go ahead and follow these instructions:

  1. First, fork this project and clone your fork to your computer.

  2. Decide the category for the site. If nothing fits, choose other.

  3. Go to _data/.yml and add add your site like this:

    websites:
    [...]
      - name: <site name>
        url: <site link>
        img: <site name>.png (We'll go back to this later)
        twitter: <site's twitter handle> (Only if available)
        facebook: <site's facebook username> (Only if available)
        email_address: <site's support email address> (Only if available and monitored)
        lang: <ISO 639-1 language code> (Only for non-English websites)
    
    [...]
    
    • If the site supports HTTPS, be sure to use it in their URL, not just HTTP.

    • If the site is only used for non-English websites, then the lang field should be lowercase ISO 639-1 codes. This will change the language used for twitter and facebook messages only. It would look like this for Spanish: lang: es

  4. Now choose an appropriate logo for the site. Logos are obligatory and should be EXACTLY 32 x 32 pixels. If you can't find any with those dimensions then we recommend you downscale a bigger image.
    Make sure it is in PNG format and run it through an optimizer like TinyPNG.
    When you're done then put the image in _img/<category>/ under <site name>.png. Make sure it's the same name as defined in the .yml earlier!

  5. Use a git client to upload your changes to your fork. For Windows and Mac, we recommend GitHub for Desktop. If you're using Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) then look at this tutorial.

  6. Everything done? Then make a Pull Request(PR)! Once everything looks nice it's time to request to add the site. Go to your fork on GitHub and click the New pull request button. It looks like this:
