Re: [mh] Git woes

Hey all,

This is because you should not use a password to authenticate anymore, but rather access tokens or SSH keys that you can configure in your user account on Github.

The whole rationale behind this is explained in the link you receive

Nothing to really worry about, it just takes a few steps to enable the new access method and then you’re all set again.

Best regards,
 Lieven.
