Hi guys!

I have been trying to push my local project into my github remote repository. My workflow is like:  
"change the parameter in settings.js from 'false' to 'true' " -\> create a new local project -\> click "+ all" button -\> commit the changes -\> add remote repository URL(https) into the settings of this local project -\> "push"

When I tried to push it finally, it keeps telling me my password is wrong

here is what my settings look like:

May I ask what have I done wrong here?

PS: remote repository has no file & the project was created without encryption。

Thank you!

GitHub no longer supports using username/password to authenticate. You need to generate a Personal Access Token and use that in place of your password.
