The error message “Password authentication is not supported for Git operations” means that GitHub no longer allows you to use your account password for Git commands like push. This is a security measure.
To fix this, you need to use a Personal Access Token (PAT) instead of your password. A PAT is a secure, unique key that acts as a password for command-line Git.
Step 1: Generate a Personal Access Token on GitHub
-
Go to your GitHub account settings.
-
Navigate to
Developer settings->Personal access tokens->Tokens (classic). -
Click
Generate new token. -
Give the token a descriptive name (e.g., “OVH SSH”).
-
Set an expiration date for the token.
-
Under
Select scopes, check the box forrepo(and its sub-options). This gives the token permission to read and write to your repositories. -
Click
Generate tokenat the bottom. -
Copy the token immediately! GitHub will only show it to you once.
Step 2: Use the Token as Your Password
Now, go back to your SSH session on OVH. When you run the git push command again and are prompted for the password, paste the Personal Access Token you just copied instead of your regular GitHub password.
git push -u origin master
When prompted for:
-
Username:
RodolpheKoehly -
Password: Paste your Personal Access Token here (it will not be visible on the screen).
The command should now complete successfully. If you have trouble, consider using an SSH key instead of a PAT, which is another secure method.
