Answer 1

get the solution to follow below simple steps.

1. Go to GitHub

5. Select Personal access tokens
6. Click on Generate new token
7. Type Expiration time
8. Select your preferred scopes
9. Click on Generate token
10. Finally, you can copy that token and use it to authenticate

Answer 2

Generate a token first since Github no longer accepts account passwords when authenticating Git operations and requires the use of token-based authentication beginning August 13 2021.

How to generate a token Go to the settings, then got to developer settings then select personal access tokens(3rd option) click on the button "Generate new token" on the top right Enter a note, select the expiration date, and check the scope options and click generate button at the bottom. Copy the token generated. This is what we shall replace with the token in 2nd instruction below.

git remote add origin https://github.com/username/directory-name.git
git remote set-url origin https://<token>@github.com/username/directory-name.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main

This resolves your issue

Answer 3

1. Create an access token following this: https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token
2. Change the URL of the repo to: https://<access token>@github.com/userName/repo.git

If on jenkins, set the credentials to none.

Answer 4

Beginning August 13, 2021, Github no longer accepts account passwords when authenticating Git operations and will require the use of token-based authentication.

Answer 6

I've the same problem when I try to push my project in the local directory to my GitHub directory and then I try to follow those steps:

• generate token at GitHub's developer settings
• git remote add origin https://github.com/username/directory-name.git
• git remote set-url origin https://@github.com//.git
• git branch -M main
• git push -u origin main

Answer 7

I got this error on my console or on my Git Bash when I tried to use

git push -u origin main

Logon failed, use ctrl+c to cancel basic credential prompt. remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021. remote: Please see https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/about-remote-repositories#cloning-with-https-urls for information on currently recommended modes of authentication. fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/JaseemKhan211/myNatours.git'

It's weird because today I have a lot of time to fix this error. To push the code to my GitHub repository, I open Git Bash and run the first command.

git init

then, all commands are run one by one

git status

git add.

git status

git commit -m "first commit"

git status

git remote add origin https://github.com/JaseemKhan211/myNatours.git

git push -u origin main

The last executed command resulted in a window open, prompting for a username and password to be filled. However, upon attempting to fill out this information, an error was displayed in the console.

I fixed the problem just simply by upgrading Git to the latest version!

Now instead of adding your username/email and password, you will login with your browser. The image below is the new interface you must update your Git to see the new changes!

If you are using Windows, you can simply use this command below to update your Git:

git update-git-for-windows

Then update Git and then proceed to run the last command once more

After successful login, we got this message

You are using Https connections instead of SSH. Just delete your current project, and clone it using SSH url. Just a note, to use this, you need to set up SSH keys and connection with Github.
