GitHub deprecates account passwords for authenticating Git operations

GitHub has announced that account passwords will no longer be accepted for authenticating Git operations starting tomorrow. Instead, token-based authentication will be required for all authenticated Git operations. Developers must use a personal access token over HTTPS (recommended) or SSH key by August 13, 2021, to avoid disruption. If you already have two-factor authentication enabled for your GitHub account, you will not be affected by this authentication change. In May, GitHub added support for securing SSH Git operations using FIDO2 security keys.
