How do I update the password for Git?

Question

I\'m using BitBucket with Xcode and Git for version control, and recently I changed all of my passwords (thanks Adobe!).

Unsurprisingly, I\'m no longer able

Answer 1

If you are using github and have enabled 2 factor authentication, you need to enter a Personal access token instead of your password

First reset your password:

git config --global --unset user.password

Then, log to your github account, on the right hand corner, click on Settings, then Developer Settings. Generate a Personal access token. Copy it.

git push

The terminal will prompt you for your username: enter your email address.

At the password prompt, enter the personal access token instead.
