How can I connect my Sourcetree to Github after enabling MFA on Github

Question

I'm having trouble pushing my branch to origin, Source tree is saying that my Github Credentials are incorrect.  I was able to Sign into Github using the same credentials.  I also was able to push changes via command line.

I'm setting the Authentication type to OAuth and connecting via HTTPS.  I keep getting incorrect credentials.

I can only offer limited help on Mac issues, but could you try adding the account via "basic" authentication, and then use the Personal Access Token as your password rather than wait for the prompt?

If that doesn't work, I'd recommend that you switch your repository to use the SSH URL, and add a SSH key to your github account and to Sourcetree. If needed I can provide a short guide on how to do that.
