Hello Magento Friends,
Did you also receive the following, fatal: Authentication Failed error while trying git push or pull?
The fatal: Authentication Failed error is shown when you are accessing GitHub with a password instead of a personal access token.
Move ahead with this blog to know Why Authentication Failed error occurs and How to fix it.
Contents
Github has removed the support for Password Authentication from August 13, 2021.
The password authentication support has been eliminated because it is easy for people to crack the passwords. A personal access token can reduce the damage.
Now GitHub will not allow if you try to use git by username and password. Instead, you need to use a personal access token to access git.
In the future when you try to use Git operations like push or pull, it will prompt you to enter your username and password. Enter your GitHub Username but for the password field, you need to generate a personal access token and enter it in the password field. Working with the command line, may not receive an indication for the successful password entry. Just click Enter after pasting the personal access token.
Now the question is, how you can generate your Personal Access Token. Let’s head on to the steps to Generate Personal Access Tokens.
Step 1: Open GitHub from here and log in.
Step 2: Choose Setting from the menu.
Step 3: Now click on Developer Settings
Step 4: Next, choose Personal access tokens
Step 5: Hit the Generate new token button.
Step 6: Then, fill in the necessary information like Note, Expiration, Select Scopes.
At last click on Generate Token button
Step 7: A new token has been generated successfully. The generated token can be used to access git with username and token.
You need to run the below code before push or pull until you’re no longer prompted.
git remote set-url origin https://<githubtoken>@github.com/<username>/<repositoryname>.git
or
git remote set-url origin https://<token>@github.com/<username>/<repo>
Hence, this way you can solve the “Support for password authentication removed” GitHub Error by Generating Personal Access Token. Know more about GitHub and its Code Scanning Security.
