I think you make a good point, the retyping is not perceived as a genuine sort of 2-factor step but is perceived like an annoyance. Maybe the consequences of the action should be shown in a screenshot with a 5 second wait. Personally the only reason it works for me as a 2-factor is because I think about what Github's intent is when they prompt me to retype the repo name and therefore I take a moment to reflect that I indeed want to do what I want to do. But isn't that backwards? I have to imagine what Github's intention was instead of simply seeing a ui and understanding it for what it is.
