Description
I really need help with this! I created a personal access token after August 13th when password authentication became deprecated. The personal access token is not registered as valid when I enter it in the password prompt on Windows Linux Subsystem terminal when trying to push changes to a repo. I get the error message "remote: Invalid username or password". My entered username is correct. I do not know how to resolve this problem after searching online. Is there an explanation for this?
