If you are trying to use the same password as used to login to your user profile (web browser GUI), you need to change Authentication method to web auth flow, personal access token or SSH Keys for working with GIi. Use a recent/latest version of Git Client or GitHub Desktop version you can simply select the ‘Sign In with Browser option’ and follow the instructions. Alternatively the personal access token routes requires you to create it in advance, described at this link Creating a personal access token - GitHub Docs. Examples of how you enter the token in the Git command line are provided in the link also. |

I’m using Eclipse and can’t figure out how to make the push/commit work. it keeps popping up a a login dialog and i’ve tried providing user/password and user/personal access token but neither works. After entering the login details I get not authorized error. |
