GitHub has announced today that account passwords will no longer be accepted for authenticating Git operations starting tomorrow.

This change was first announced last year, in July, when GitHub said that authenticated Git operations would require using an SSH key or token-based authentication.

GitHub also deprecated password-based authentication for authenticating via the REST API beginning with November 13, 2020.

"Starting on August 13, 2021, at 09:00 PST, we will no longer accept account passwords when authenticating Git operations on GitHub.com," the company said.
"Instead, token-based authentication (for example, personal access, OAuth, SSH Key, or GitHub App installation token) will be required for all authenticated Git operations."
