I followed the steps of creating a new token, and then I replace it on my Mac keychain.
After that, I tried to push my code into GitHub, but then got the same error:
Remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021. Please use a personal access token instead.
Remote: Please see https://github.blog/2020-12-15-token-authentication-requirements-for-git-operations/ for more information.
Why this error is happening if I created a new token ? What I am missing in this case ?
After Creating the personal token change the origin like this :
git remote set-url origin https://username:<MYTOKEN>#github.com/username/repo.git

could someone help me to fix this issue?
I'm trying to connect my local repository to GitHub, but I have got this error.
I have tried so many times to solve it without success, following the documentation or generate a new token, as well.
Thanks in advance

I would like to access again on my GitHub profile, and work with it.
Make sure the token you are entering as a password when prompted follows the new format:
ghp for GitHub personal access tokens
And make sure you are not creating a "fined-grained" PAT (Personal Access Token), as such token might be too limited in scope and would not work with a specific repository.
Try and create a classic PAT.
Beginner developer here. I created a Personal Access Token (PAT) on Github so that I could clone a repo for local access. When terminal asks for credentials and I enter my PAT I get the error message below, which I interpret as terminal not recognising the token I entered as a PAT (ie terminal thinks I'm entering a standard password)

Answers to similar questions posted on Stack Overflow suggest updating keychain access with the PAT. This seems to be successful for many, judging by the upvotes and thankful comments. I've done this but am still getting the same error message.
I've verified the PAT that I'm copying into terminal is the same as the one served up by Github.
There was a suggestion that SAML SSO's may need to go through an additional process but that seems to be for enterprise account and mine is a personal account.
I'm using macOS Big Sur version 11.6
Urghhh. So, just reboot the computer (once you've updated your keychain) and it should work.
Today, Oct 24 2022, at 15:00, I pushed my repo from the dev machine and then pull it on the production one without troubles.
I used my github name and my personal access token: I made a lot of daily commits against several private repo, with no problem until now..
At 17:00, github suddenly stop accessing my push telling me:
Username for 'https://github.com': pdipietro
Password for 'https://pdipietro#github.com':
remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021. Please use a personal access token instead.
remote: Please see https://github.blog/2020-12-15-token-authentication-requirements-for-git-operations/ for more information.
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/pdipietro/xxxxxxxx.git/'
I was able to push using VSC, but I'm absolutely unable to pull the repo on the production machine.
I can access www.github.com using my username and password.
I created a new Personal Access Token with all permissions but nothing changed: access is still denied.
Any help will be appreciated.
Well the problem was solved after rebooting all the machines: my dev machines and all the machines hosted on Amazon eheI use Github.
The old personal access token is working again.
I cannot explain but should be interesting to have some ideas on why the problem happened and what the problem exactly is.

I am having this error when pulling in sourcetree, it was working just fine yesterday but it suddenly had this error.

I tried having a personal access token and use it on source tree but still was not able to login.
1 - Generate a new token from git dev settings
2 - In SourceTree, you just need to change your repository settings there:
3 - Change the URL/Path with the new format:
https://<USERNAME>:<TOKEN>#<GIT_URL>.git
4 - Press OK and it is good now!
in source tree > open repo settings > remotes tab > edit the remote "URL/path" to be
https://{personal-access-token>#github.com}/{<my-repo>}.git>
then save and try to push
i did like #heratyian answer and works fine.
Step by step using the terminal and github
Remove repo
git remote remove origin
Generate personal access token
https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token
Add remote back using personal access token
Remember to replace <personal-access-token> and <my-repo> with your credentials.
git remote add origin https://<personal-access-token>#github.com/<my-repo>.git>
If on Windows, open the Credentials Manager and delete your github credentials if any.
If on macOS, open the Keychain Access app and delete your github credentials if any.
Then, get a Personal Access Token by following the guide here https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token
Then push your code as normal and when asked enter your newly generated personal access token.
I went:
Tools>Options>Authentication. Edited my account.
I changed Authentication from Basic to OAuth. And now the brownout no longer affects me.
After setting up my PAT and setting up my account in Sourcetree menu -> Preferences -> Accounts, I still got the brownout error.
Adding your account in SourceTree seems to prompt for a password upon opening.
I set up git to cache my credentials:
https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/caching-your-github-credentials-in-git
Then in SourceTree I re-cloned my repo. Got prompted for a password - entered my PAT. Now it's working fine.
I have solved the issue, just to ad up on woland's comment.
First add a personal access token then add it in your credentials
Second add a remote by clicking the gear settings then add a remote
Add the remote of your repository then link it with your account that has logged personal access token.
lastly fetch to that remote origin.
After our github has a two factor authentication setup, I can't do pull nor push on command-line due to an error of "repository not found".
C:\myproject>git push origin mybranch
Username for 'https://github.com': myname
Password for 'https://myname#github.com':
remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/myproject.git/' not found
How to resolve this issue?
For folks who are facing the same issue,
Enabling 2FA requires us to use the Personal Access Token(PAT) instead of our password. PAT can be generated from Developer Settings tab. While generating the token make sure to give the necessary permissions(scope) like repo read/write access, etc.,
This worked for me.
Double-check your URL.
It should not be https://github.com/myproject.git/ but https://github.com/myusername/myproject.git/
