fatal error invalid user/password

[millernw]

I'm getting the following error:

remote: Invalid username or password. fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://*****%40gmail.com:{password}@github.com/millernw/Grav-testsite-7-2020/'

(note: I replaced my email name with *****, although my login email address does have a '.' - so for example it's firstname.lastname@gmail.com )

When I initially installed the plugin and used the wizard it seemed to accept the user/password but now I'm getting an error. I verified that my email/password for github was correct.

For what it's worth, I'm using Grav on Linode and under a Caprover install. I don't know if that would affect things or not.

In the Wizard it states that you should use your username, which I am assuming is millernw, and not the email address. That's most likely the reason why it's erroring out.

Sorry about that, I tried both ways before posting the problem here (I forgot to mention that in my original post). When I change it back to 'millernw' as my user I get this:

remote: Invalid username or password. fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://millernw:{password}@github.com/millernw/Grav-testsite-7-2020/'

I should note I do not currently have 2FA installed on github.

Hi,

Since yesterday, I have the exact same issue... I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the plugin, I run the wizard several times (connection seems to work), but when I save a page, I have this error message... I've put my user name and not my email in the plugin configuration.

Thanks in advance !

Make sure you generate an Access Token and use that instead of your password, this is the recommended method for authenticating outside of GitHub nowadays.

Authentication failed is not an error coming from GitSync but from the provider and the only reason for that error is the user/pass|token are wrong
