Hi, JP. This is the Git mailing list, which focuses on
the Git client. Your question regards the GitHub service,
which generally doesn't do support here. However, there
are several GitHub employees who read this list (including
me).

I'm a bit disappointed that the official post doesn't actually
solve your problem completely. One aspect is that you should work
on enabling two-factor auth through the user settings [1]. The
other side of the equation is that you should authenticate in a
way that doesn't use passwords. The recommended way (from my
perspective) is to install Git-Credential-Manager Core (GCM Core)
available at [2]. This will allow you to automatically authenticate
with GitHub (and Azure Repos and BitBucket) using whatever 2FA you
have set up without needing to generate PATs.

Good luck!
