What nic said...then you take that token and enter that in as your password. I had the same issue as you and this worked for me. Sounding like loads of people having this issue right now. Token is generated at https://github.com/settings/tokens

I'm also here for this issue but I'm struggling to apply the token to SourceTree.
If I attempt to update my account(s) within the Options there is no Authentication option for personal access token. (see below picture)
If I attempt to directly clone a new repository from the URL the prompt login window also has no option for the personal access token (see below picture)
Some search results went as far as to imply that the password field is where the token value is placed. In neither scenario has this worked. I have the latest SourceTree version installed so I'm not sure what I'm missing?
Can you please walk through the process of taking a personal access token from GitHub and applying it within SourceTree?

Glad you all were able to come upon the answer. Given this has come up a few times, I just wanted to add the info that Github announced earlier this year they'd be disabling passwords over basic auth - and the time they'd make the hard switch (November 13, 2020) was last week.
There are actually two ways to solve it:
