[git] Git Clone from GitHub over https with two-factor authentication

I recently began using two-factor authentication on GitHub, and I am now unable to use git over https on private repos in the usual way:

peter@computer:~$ git clone https://github.com/[...]/MyPrivateRepo
Cloning into 'MyPrivateRepo'...
Username for 'https://github.com': [...]
Password for 'https://[...]@github.com': 
remote: Invalid username or password.
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/[...]/MyPrivateRepo/'

If I disable two-factor authentication I can use it as before:

peter@computer:~$ git clone https://github.com/[...]/MyPrivateRepo
Cloning into 'MyPrivateRepo'...
Username for 'https://github.com': [...]
Password for 'https://[...]@github.com': 
remote: Counting objects: 147, done.
remote: Total 147 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 147
Receiving objects: 100% (147/147), 22.70 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (87/87), done.
Checking connectivity... done.

I know I can use SSH and everything works, but is there a way I can keep two-factor authentication while still being able to use GitHub over HTTPS, for example by sending an auth token with my request?

If your repo have 2FA enabled. Highly suggest to use the app provided by github.com Here is the link: https://desktop.github.com/

After you downloaded it and installed it. Follow the withard, the app will ask you to provide the one time password for login. Once you filled in the one time password, you could see your repo/projects now.

1st: Get personal access token. https://github.com/settings/tokens
2nd: Put account & the token. Example is here:

$ git push
Username for 'https://github.com':            # Put your GitHub account name
Password for 'https://{USERNAME}@github.com': # Put your Personal access token

Link on how to create a personal access token: https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line

To everyone struggling, what worked for me was creating personal access token and then using it as a username AND password (in the prompt that opened).

As per @Nitsew's answer, Create your personal access token and use your token as your username and enter with blank password.

Later you won't need any credentials to access all your private repo(s).

It generally comes to mind that you have set up two-factor authentication, after a few password trials and maybe a password reset. So, how can we git clone a private repository using two-factor authentication? It is simple, using access tokens.

How to Authenticate Git using Access Tokens

1. Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens
2. Click Generate New Token button on top right.
3. Give your token a descriptive name.
4. Set all required permissions for the token.
5. Click Generate token button at the bottom.
6. Copy the generated token to a safe place.
7. Use this token instead of password when you use git clone.

Wow, it works!
