username password deprecation

FYI,
On August 15th, 2020 at 00:42 (UTC) you used a password to access an endpoint through the GitHub API using TotallyLegit:
https://api.github.com/repositories/4456049
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.
P.S. love this!
Hi,
thanks for your comment. Though it is only briefly mentioned in the readme, I always assumed that the Github API is only used with username and personal access token since this is the only way to do it with MFA enabled.
Therefore I would suggest you create yourself a personal access token as described here: https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token
You can just enter this instead of your password in the authentication dialog.
Thanks for using PSArmoury and let me know if you have any other suggestions for improvements :-)
Hahaha omg I'm a moron I turned off my MFA to use this. Thank you so much!
