using a personal access token still works if you need a workaround

Your comment helped me too. Thank you.

But I have one question.
Do I have to create a new token? I used the option for the token I already had and it didn't work, so I created a new token and logged in and it worked fine.

@hansolljeong It depends on the permissions associated with your token; your old token probably didn't have the correct permissions.

On a side-note, it is a better practice not to re-use an existing token, but to have a dedicated token for each specific purposes, this way you can have more control on the permissions associated to each token, which means better security! 😉

This issue is persistent in the new version.

Yes, we need to switch the 2FA to be via a browser. I haven't had time to do it, if anyone wants to help out, let me know. Happy to provide guidance and coordination.

I am still experiencing this issue as of April 2024. I've tried this on the latest version v5.2.0, and also downgrading back to the version I was on previously, v4.6.1, and the button doesn't work on either.

Idk if this is related but I can't get notifications for organizations behind SSO with the access token login, which I need for my work :(

organizations behind SSO with the access token login

@maxheyn - can you share if this is GitHub Enterprise Cloud or GitHub Enterprise Server?

@setchy Neither, it's just a GitHub organization using SAML SSO for authentication.

4.6.1 didn't work for me neither, but downgrade to 4.4.0 worked and kept logged in after updating back to 5.5.0

But the token based login should work! Have you tried to configure SSO in the tokens menu?

I think what we need here is just documentation, because this is very much possible 😅
