Personal access tokens are ubiquitous nowadays, maybe even more common than passwords since GitHub disabled passwords last year. I wanted to acknowledge this in the docs, even if Git's own behaviour hasn't changed. Maybe the introduction to https://git-scm.com/docs/gitcredentials would be a better place to do that? Git will sometimes need credentials from the user in order to perform operations; for example, it may need to ask for a username and password in order to access a remote repository over HTTP. **The server may accept or expect a personal access token instead of a password.** [1] https://github.blog/changelog/2021-08-12-git-password-authentication-is-shutting-down/
