Hello, I'm from the GitHub security team. We are in the process of removing the ability to use a password to authenticate to the GitHub API. We noticed this application supports and encourages in-app password-based authentication.

We suggest you only enable the "Login with your default browser (OAuth)" option. Let us know if we can help you in any way.

If I did things right, this pull request simply changes the UI but does not remove any of the underlying functionality.
