Two-Step authentication difficulty using TortoiseGit

[mark.l...@gmail.com]

I am using TortoiseGIT 2.10.02.

I am accessing my repo on GitHub via HTTPS and have a _netrc file setup on my computer with my username and password.

Everything works get until I enabled Two-Step authentication on GitHUB. After doing that, when doing a push TortoiseGIT  reports an error "Report: invalid username or password"

Does anyone know of a way to use TortoiseGIT with GitHub using Two-Step authentication?

Thanks much for any advice anyone may have!

You need to use a token (cf.
<https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/accessing-github-using-two-factor-authentication#using-two-factor-authentication-with-the-command-line>).
