Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Apparently, only personal access tokens are allowed for the authentication to Docker Hub

It's a limitation of the Docker Hub API, see: https://github.com/docker/hub-feedback/issues/2445

**Describe the solution you'd like**
I'd like to use an organization account to be independent of a single user.

Research direction

Start by tracing the Docker Hub authentication flow in the repository and compare it with the Docker Hub API limitation linked in the issue. Determine whether organization-account authentication is supported by the upstream API, then verify the behavior with the repository's existing authentication tests or checks. Done means organization credentials can be used without depending on one personal user, if the upstream API permits it.
