Applying personal access tokens [message #1838624] |

I have been using Eclipse for about two years paired with GitHub. We are using HTTPS with user_name / password combination. These user names and passwords have been stored somewhere (not familiar with all of the inner workings) at some point. I am never prompted for a user name/ password combination when pushing to or pulling from the GitHub repository.
I have been getting the warning notices from GitHub that the user name/password combination will not be honored after August 2021 and that I must be using a Personal Access Token for HTTPS after that date.
Ok, I have the Personal Access Token, but how does one apply it globally to already existing repositories for which I am not prompted for a password. In fact, I am not even prompted for a password from any newly created repositories either (however, they are created through GitHub Desktop).
I've got the PAT, but I don't know how to apply it within Eclipse/Egit. Would appreciate some guidance there.
Thank you.
