I have generated personal token on github and entered it in password field successfully, but when I try to fetch from my repo sourcetree throws me following error:
git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false --no-optional-locks fetch --no-tags Room
remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021. Please use a personal access token instead.
remote: Please see https://github.blog/2020-12-15-token-authentication-requirements-for-git-operations/ for more information.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/daisoto/room.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403
I have tried deleting my accounts from sourcetree and logging in again, but I still receive this error.
However, if I use console there is no error. Is proves that there is some error or my mistake in using sourcetree account managament.
I had the same issue and solved it in this way:
Open sourcetree, in the right click icon Settings (Repository settings) ->Remotes -> Select Origin and Edit:
Set URL/Path in the following format: https://<token>@<git_url>.git
works for me too. Thank you!

Thanks a lot for your solution!
Yet I have certain fear about this one, if someone gain access to your sourcetree client, they will easily find your token.

Hi @Владимир ,
Even if it's not a nice one, that was the solution that got me out of trouble.
If you'll find another solution, please share it with us.
Thanks ,

This is actually a workaround of a bug. The bug is, even if you remove/change the old authentication method, the SourceTree will still try to use the old one. It is restored even if you uninstall and make a fresh install of the app.
To prevent this after removing the old git credentials, delete Atlassian folder from all the appdata folders. Then go to Tools->Settings->Authentication and add a new Basic Github authentication. Enter the Github username(not the e-mail) and use your token as the password. It should work after that.

This workaround works! Thank you SO much!! Sourcetree needs to get this issue fixed ASAP.

@Abdullah Çınar I delete passwd in AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree and use token to login again. It works.

Abdullah Çınar's solution has worked for me twice now. Once last year but I recently had to re-install Windows due to a system issue. I had forgotten how I had solved this issue before but thanks to a friend linking me to this thread, Abdullah Çınar helped me again.

I spent many days trying to find a workaround to this problem, I just deleted the Atlassian folder from C: - Users - MyUser - AppData and regenerated the authentication method in Sourcetree using Github and OAuth.
Worked like a charm.
Thank you Abdullah
