Invalid Username error while using check50

[mrugesh-praja-au9]

I renamed my GitHub username and then after this Authentication error problem started, please help me, I trapped in trouble!

Hey @mrugesh-praja-au8, thanks for reaching out.

Behind the scenes, every time you submit a problem set with submit50 you commit (in other words send) your code a GitHub repository.
To see this repository, visit https://github.com/me50/USERNAME, where you substitute USERNAME with your GitHub username. There you will find a branch for each problem set, e.g. cs50/problems/2020/x/caesar - click on the branch name to see the files you have submitted!
In order to get accredited your previous work, you have to resubmit your code with your new username, so just go ahead and use submit50 again for each problem set! Chances are that you are using CS50 IDE and therefore have all your problem sets in your workspace, if not then feel free to copy them from your me50 repository (as stated above), as they are yours and you don't break the rules copying your own work (just don't copy other people's code!).

If it works out, please leave a quick note so a CS50 staff member can close this issue.
If you got any further questions please don't hesitate to ask! 😃

Every time I am trying to Submit any Program, I am getting an Error Message --

"Make sure your username and/or password are valid and check50 is enabled for your account. To enable check50, please go to https://submit.cs50.io in your web browser and try again. If you're using GitHub two-factor authentication, you'll need to create and use a personal access token with the "repo" scope instead of your password. See https://cs50.ly/github-2fa for more information!"

You'll need to be more specific as to the trouble you're having! These are indeed the steps to take:

"Make sure your username and/or password are valid and check50 is enabled for your account. To enable check50, please go to https://submit.cs50.io in your web browser and try again. If you're using GitHub two-factor authentication, you'll need to create and use a personal access token with the "repo" scope instead of your password.

I am having the same issue with readability check50. I have created an access token for me50/Jxlara and am still getting the same error repeatedly.

I am having the same issue with readability check50. I have created an access token for me50/Jxlara and am still getting the same error repeatedly.

I created a personal access token in my github account (help: https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token) and used the token instead of my password. Now, the issues is resolved and I can submit pset files through cs50 ide. I have to mention this is the first time I have this problem with cs50 IDE. I have been using my user and password for several weeks and never have this problem; however, thanks to personal access token the issue is now resolved! Hope it works for you too.

I have done the same process, but still am getting the same error. I will try generating a new token maybe that will work.
