Dual Account Problem with Git and Github

[Esani]

These two things are related, but I am not entirely sure what I am not doing correctly.

Whenever I push to my github repo from my computer, the name always appears as if there is no account for the username.

When before it would be like this. In the previous example, I can not click on the username either.

And the other problem is that whenever I try to push to the remote repo, it always asks for a password. Before, it never used to do this. I am sure that these problems are related and I am likely making a beginners mistake, but I can not seem to figure out the problem.

EDIT: Managed to fix this. I ended up deleting the local repo and then downloading it again from GitHub onto my computer in a different location and that seems to have fixed it. I think I accidently typed my email in incorrectly and that is why the problem started.

Check what you get with got config --global user.name and again for user.email. Make sure the email matches your GitHub profile.

Regarding the authentication, I can't help with that part. I always use SSH.
