Github is removing password authentication for git operations next year.

"Beginning August 13, 2021, we will no longer accept account passwords when authenticating Git operations on GitHub.com.". You will be required to use a token-based. Basically, you will be required to use your phone to ever do any push on Github.

I think you're confusing 2FA tokens and personal access or OAuth tokens. This change doesn't require you to enable 2FA (even though you should!!), it just requires you to create a personal access token or an ssh key that you'll use instead of a password. Using your password for git authentication has always been a bad idea, so it's good that they're finally disabling that completely
