can't push via Sourcetree after setting up Visual Studio Code (remote: Password authentication is t)
Asked by kellerSeb:

Hey people,

I created my own repos. in github. I was able to commit and push and pull via Sourcetree just fine.

I discovered Visual Studio Code can also push changes for me. For that I had to enter a token. I created that token n Github and VSC is working just fine.

I still want to push via SourceTree though. But everytime I get the following message

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false --no-optional-locks push -v --tags origin master:master  
fatal: credential-cache unavailable; no unix socket support  
remote: Password authentication is temporarily disabled as part of a brownout. Please use a personal access token instead.  
remote: Please see <https://github.blog/2020-07-30-token-authentication-requirements-for-api-and-git-operations/> for more information.  
fatal: unable to access '<https://github.com/kellerSepp/karriereTutorHTMLCSS.git/>': The requested URL returned error: 403

Pushing to <https://github.com/kellerSepp/karriereTutorHTMLCSS.git>  
Completed with errors, see above.

I sort of get it has to do something with the token. So I checked Tools-\>Options-\>Authentification and edited the git account entry:

I tried HTTPS \& SSH ... Credentials :OAuth -\> refresh OAuth Token

I see the green check for "Authentification ok" but I still can't push.

I am trying to solve this problem for 2.5 h...

can someone maybe please help me?

thank you

short update.... I just went to shop some groceries, came back and tried to push my content again. Now it works just fine. I didn't do anything since publishing this post .. besides groceries ..

apperantly I have to wait until the gods of code allow me to push things.  

So.. I see this case as solved. Sorry, but I have no clue why it works now .

author: Kevin Mandeville
body: It says they are having a brownout so they've disabled password authentication. Perhaps they are disabling things they are planning on sunsetting soon in order to save power.


author: Milan Dhameliya
body: As Github earlier said we will no longer accept account passwords when authenticating with the REST API and will require the use of token-based authentication

to solve Password authentication is temporarily disabled as part of a brownout. Please use a personal access token instead of this error you **just need to create a new token and then Update the remote URL**.
