Hi @mouseion9,

Thanks for reporting this issue!

Unfortunately I have been unable to reproduce the issue on my end.
It is possible that the PAT you are using has expired, or hasn't been mistyped.

In this case, GitHub returns a generic failure message that indicates that password authentication has been removed.

When you have a spare moment, could you try the following to see if it resolves the issue:

1. Generate a new PAT on GitHub at https://github.com/settings/tokens (ensuring it has the full repo scope)
2. Try authenticating with the newly generated personal access token

Thanks,
- Dylan
