Answer 2

When I login with username and password, I got this error: 401 Unauthorized (password is true)

Then I created a token like @tannergr, this time I got Insufficient security scopes error.

After that, I added all privileges to the token. Everything was looking normal. I tried to clone repo from url, unfortunately I got Clone failed: Unable to create destination directory error.

I am using Android Studio version 4.1.1 on my new computer. Android Studio makes me sad with new bugs in every version.

Check if you have activated 2FA on your account.

If you have (two-factor authentication), then the password you should enter would actually be a PAT (Personal Access Token), in your settings, not your GitHub account password.
