So, I use SVN with Github. I enabled Two Factor Authentication on Github and then I tried to commit to a repository with svn commit -m "xxxxx". I was confronted with the username/password stout:

Authentication realm: <https://github.com:443> GitHub
Username: xxxxx
Password for 'xxxxx': ******

After entering the password a couple of times, I get:

svn: E215004: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: E215004: No more credentials or we tried too many times.
Authentication failed
svn: E200042: Additional errors:
svn: E120191: Error running context: The requested authentication type(s) are not supported

I tried entering in my tokencode to the password prompt. I've also tried removing the local repository and resourcing it. I can checkout the repository just fine, but I can't make commits through svn. There was no problem with svn without Two Factor Authentication. Is there any way around this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You'll need to create a personal access token and input that as the 'password': https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6565357/git-push-requires-username-and-password/62235647#62235647 – Adil B Jun 11 '21 at 13:46

    Hello @AdilB as I mention in my post, I have tried using the personal access token as the 'password'. That does not allow me to authenticate over svn. It works fine authenticating on the github website, but not when I try to `svn checkout` a repository. Further, that question link refers to the git process, not the svn one (similar but, clearly, not similar enough). Thanks for trying but, unfortunately, that one doesn't help. – anr983mfg_d-3 Jun 13 '21 at 07:23
  • Thanks for the update. Please comment back once you've figured this one out! – Adil B Jun 14 '21 at 15:58
