Sourcetree (v 3.1.1) not allowing me to pull from github with two-factor auth enabled on github

Jeffrey Ha

I've been using my password for github just fine on Sourcetree without 2FA, but Sourcetree has stopped being able to pull from github when I enabled 2FA on github. Sourcetree asks me to enter in my password to github when fetching from my repo, but it doesn't work when I enter it.

 

I've tried using the latest embedded git (2.20.1), and the latest system git (2.20.1); both failed to resolve the issue.

 

I'm not the owner/admin of the github repo I'm working on.

 

I'm currently on macOS Mojave (10.14.3)

Hi @Jeffrey Ha,

Could you try deleting and re-adding your GitHub account (not the repository) in Sourcetree, choosing OAuth for authentication, to see if that works properly for you after that?

Thanks,
