problem?

Greetings all;

Trying to use my email and and a passwd to clone a github repo, I
just ran into a big can of worms. According to the error msg,
passwds were canceled on Aug 13, and they are now useing a personal
token. no clue given as to how to acquire that.

I also used the normal passwd to reclone LinuxCNC without a problem
on Sept 28th, well after the error msg said it should have been
blocked.

Can anyone clairify what is going on?

Thanks all.

I did this:


https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ss
h/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account

mmm, the dissenter browser doesn't like that page, shows it blanked.
Firefox with its kitchen sink collander full of security holes does. And
it says my id_rsa.pub key is likely 5 years to old to work. What it
says:

RSA keys (ssh-rsa) with a valid_after before November 2, 2021 may
continue to use any signature algorithm. RSA keys generated after that
date must use a SHA-2 signature algorithm. Some older clients may need
to be upgraded in order to use SHA-2 signatures.

So it looks like I'll have to update if I can to sha-2, and then generate
new keys. Bummer...

Thank you Peter.

and it was not too painful...


Actually why do you need a password at all to clone?
I needed to update to use the ssh key to be able to push
but I have never needed a password to clone LinuxCNC



Cheers, Gene Heskett.
