So, this is what happens even if I entered correct Github UserName (or ID) and Password.
I have tried it with, name, UserName, Email ID but it all fails.
How can I get through this authentication step? plz help!!
entered correct Github UserName (or ID) and Password.
That the point of the error message. GitHub no longer accept passwords (since Aug. 2021), only PAT (Personal Access Token)
If you enter your token as a password, it would work.
you can also check your git config --global credential.helper
is set to manager
the Microsoft cross-platform GCM (Git Credential Manager)).
That way, you will cache said credentials (username+token), and won't have to enter them again.
