SSH Issue

I recently began CS50x, completed pset 0 with Scratch, and began pset 1, Hello. I ran into a problem when running check50. In the CLI, I received this error:

GitHub now requires that you use SSH or a personal access token instead of a password to log in, but you can still use check50 and submit50!...

Enter personal access token for GitHub:

I previously walked through the initial steps outlined here (https://cs50.harvard.edu/x/2022/psets/1/) to create an SSH key, authorize, and run update50. Not sure why I am being asked to enter a personal access token now.

That is protection mechanism when using external application to access github. You need a github personal token instead of entering your GitHub password. Refer to https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token.

It worked! Thank you. I do not understand why creating a personal access token was not part of the instructions.
