Description

@bhrutledge That would be a good spot to document it. Also, maybe it should be documented in https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/packaging-projects/ if possible. If four people have reported it that I see, maybe others have tried to upload using twine and have been unable to do so.

The section to add this would be: https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/packaging-projects/#uploading-the-distribution-archives

Solution: https://github.com/pypa/twine/issues/671#issuecomment-675575517

(Or just add a reference to https://pypi.org/help/#invalid-auth)

Research direction

Start at the packaging.python.org Packaging Projects guide's “Uploading the distribution archives” section and review the linked Twine issue solution. Document how to handle token-pasting problems, or add a reference to PyPI's invalid-auth help page; done means the guidance is clear and available to users uploading with Twine.
