I'm facing problems while trying to pull/push my code into a GitHub repository using the cmd prompt for the last two days. How can I resolve this issue?

You can avoid being prompted for your password by configuring Git to cache your credentials for you. Once you've configured credential caching, Git automatically uses your cached personal access token when you pull or push a repository using HTTPS.
Fitz_Hoo is right! I just wanted to give a more detailed explanation that fix my issue. Essentially GitHub deprecated their password authentication recently (you can read more by clicking here).
Now instead of adding your username/email and password, you will login with your browser. The image below is the new interface. As Fitz_hoo mentions, you must update your Git to see the new changes!
If you are using Windows, you can simply use this command below to update your Git:
git update-git-for-windows I fixed the problem just simply by upgrading my client Git Bash to the latest version!
When I encountered the problem, I received an email from a GitHub official, who told me the reason was mainly the Git version was incompatible:
GitHub has changed how users authenticate when using Git for Windows, and now requires the use of a web browser to authenticate to GitHub. To be able to login via web browser, users need to update to the latest version of Git for Windows. You can download the latest version at:
