I am running into this error when I try to push my code from VSCode to Github. I made a new repo, and then pasted the URL of the repo into VSCode to push my work, but this message appears when I try to do so. I have not run into this problem in the past so I am unsure of what to do. I have searched online and people say I may need my own personal token / password, but they say I'd only need that if I set up 2-factor authentication, which I have not done. What should I do?

I had to add my files into the repo via upload, but then none of my commit messages appear. This method is also a lot slower...
