Note to RP Staff: In preview mode, the first paragraph was reformatted by your editor so that line feeds in the first paragraph were lost. The individual lines are run together.
Here is the output from an attempted clone into GitHub using git from a new empty repo:
Notice that there is no apparent entry for ‘Password’. I did generate a personal access token and tried to enter that as the password with ‘passkey’ chosen as the method of 2FA. (Apparently ‘passwords’ are deprecated for authorization and no longer function. Tried using sign-up password but that failed, too.) There was no visible sign that anything was actually entered on that line! The rectangular cursor had an illustration of a key inside of it.
I also tied to use SMS TOTP code but got the same result. What else do I need to do to successfully connect to GitHub?
