For GitHub switch to the more modern passkey approach

https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/authenticating-with-a-passkey/signing-in-with-a-passkey

For command line utilities, use ssh keys:

https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/about-ssh

Or personal access tokens:
