Why does Sourcetree prompt for API token everytime I do something?

I authenticated using an API token on Sourcetree, but now every time I do something, I'm prompted to enter my credentials or token. This isn't the case when I'm using an app password, but they're deprecated now.

@stso I am assuming that you are a Mac user you can do this if you are:

Go to the Terminal and type this:

git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain

On Windows. I have it configured with Windows credential manager already though.
