Personal Access Tokens - Authentication Failed

Question

Body

Token Authentication suddenly stopped working. It worked yesterday with a commit/push. Today I created a new branch and tried pushing to that branch but it keeps failing authentication (image attached).

I've checked to make sure it's not a copy/paste issue.
I've deleted all tokens and made new ones with all permissions.
I've read through the majority of discussion threads and attempted the various solutions suggested but nothing is working.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

In my experience that message appears when whatever you enter when Git asks for your password isn't a token (missing permissions are different). It's hard to say remotely why that might be, but I'd check for any stored credentials, double-check how you're entering the token, and if it's correct wherever you store it (e.g. your password manager).

If you're looking for a workaround, you can try using SSH instead of HTTPS to access your repositories. Note that after setting up your keys you'll have to update the remote repository URL to make Git actually use SSH.
