Package: github-backup Version: 1.20170301-3+b1 Severity: important Forwarded: https://github-backup.branchable.com/todo/GitHub_deprecated_basic_authentication_using_password/ https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-14-deprecating-password-auth/
Whenever I use github-backup, I get a mail from GitHub saying that they deprecated password authentication. The linked blog post says that by November 2020, password authentication will be disabled. Since authentication is almost essential to avoid the usage limits for anonymous users, this will make github-backup fairly unusable soon. https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-14-deprecating-password-auth/ Hi @pabs3, On July 12th, 2020 at 01:41 (UTC) you used a password to access an endpoint through the GitHub API using github.hs/0.7.4: https://api.github.com/repositories/120820726/forks Basic authentication using a password to the API is deprecated and will soon no longer work. Visit https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-14-deprecating-password-auth/ for more information around suggested workarounds and removal dates.
