I get the “password authentication is temporarily disabled as part of a brownout” issue when trying to use a username and password for pushing my code. Here is the detail of the error that I got this message:

Username for 'https://github.com': shreyas-jadhav
 Password for 'https://[email protected]':
 remote: Password authentication is temporarily disabled as part of a brownout. Please use a personal access token instead.
 remote: Please see https://github.blog/2020-07-30-token-authentication-requirements-for-api-and-git-operations/ for more information.

Please give me some advice to solve this problem.

    The cause: The commit id is a hash that includes such as the commit date and message. This means that if you edit a commit message, you’ll end up with a new hash. Because your password is no longer valid, the error “password authentication is temporarily disabled as part of a brownout” appears.

    Solution: 

    Regenerate and copy your token by going to GitHub Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens.
    When git push on your local repositories, type your username and the created token as the password.

    You can use a Git client to cache your token instead of manually inputting it for every HTTPS Git operation.

    Enter the following in a terminal:

    # Set Git to use the credential memory cache 
git config --global credential.helper cache

    Type like the below to modify the default password cache timeout:

    # Set the cache to timeout after 1 hour (setting is in seconds)
git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=3600'

    1. Create a new token using GitHub’s developer setting

    2. Change the remote URL 

      git remote set-url origin https://<token>@github.com/<Git_URL>

    3. Take one: 

      git pull https://<token>@<Git_URL>.git

    You are now good to go.
