GitHub will require 2FA by the end of 2023
This change would certainly have helped against the infamous "Gathering weak npm credentials" research[0] from 2017, but I think that most recent supply chain security issues (in NPM, at least) have been due to: 1) typosquatting, 2) developers deliberately adding malicious (or unwanted) code into their own packages, and 3) deep transitive dependencies on packages that have genuine bugs that lead to vulnerabilities.
It's not clear that this 2FA requirement would fix any of those problems, but it could one day allow package management tools to flag up when one developer has given/sold control of their package over to someone else who has less of a reputation and might be malicious, as was the case with the event-stream package.[1]

Securities in NodeJs
According to one research, 14% of the Node Package Manager is affected with some or the other security issues. So, what is the cause of these security issues?

A series of unfortunate commits: notable software security stories
In 2015, Nikita Andreevich Skovoroda, a member of the Node.js Technical Steering Committee, performed a scan on GitHub search and npm. Afterwards, he was able to obtain over 100 passwords and nearly 200 tokens for accounts associated with a number of frequently installed packages.

I wrote some scripts to generate QR codes, then printed them to photo paper.

Back then I thought that QR codes were a bit of a gimmick but now I'm way more confident that I'll be able to read them in the future.
What are some alternatives?
