Personal access token for garuda gitlab

Issues & Assistance
1

Today GitLab asks first time for personal access token in the terminal for HTTP.
I have GitLab ssh key in .ssh

Why they do that ??? Damn.

 >>> cd iso-profiles                                                                                                                         
~/iso-profiles >>> git add .                                                                                                      ±[●][master]
~/iso-profiles >>> git commit -m "i3wm Packages-Desktop garuda-zsh-config .."                                                     ±[●][master]

remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied
remote: You must use a personal access token with 'read_repository' or 'write_repository' scope for Git over HTTP.
remote: You can generate one at https://gitlab.com/profile/personal_access_tokens
fatal: Authentifizierung fehlgeschlagen für 'https://gitlab.com/garuda-linux/tools/iso-profiles.git/'

they ask for Password not token (in https, not HTTP Basic), but the token must be put in for the Password.

I like it.

On the other hand, nobody is perfect, not even GitLab programmers.

Then I got a warning for the redirection to HTTPS where I have the SSH key. :man_facepalming: :man_facepalming: :man_facepalming:

Does somebody know if I need now all the time this cryptic 20 char token?
Or how to fix it.
I think I changed nothing, but I can also be wrong :wink:

Personal access tokens are required when Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is enabled.

Shit It is so secure that you can not work anymore with GitLab :slight_smile: :wink: :slight_smile:

"Personal access tokens

When 2FA is enabled, you can no longer use your normal account password to authenticate with Git over HTTPS on the command line or when using GitLab’s API. You must use a personal access token instead."

Very nice, maybe I over-read in 2FA this point or they do not talk about.

So, I delete the 2FA shit and work fine via ssh on terminal.
