Hello, I'm from the GitHub security team. We are in the process of removing the ability to use a password to authenticate to the GitHub API. We noticed this application supports and encourages in-app password-based authentication that calls the GitHub API. It uses this API to return a personal access token.
The API in use is being removed from GitHub later this year. We suggest you only enable the "Login with your default browser (OAuth)" option. Let us know if we can help you in any way.
