"Support for password authentication was removed" error during installation

[christianrickert]

Following the installation guide, the vim-plug command

Plug 'morhetz/gruvbox'

returns an authentication error:

x gruvbox:
    Cloning into 'C:\Users\Christian Rickert\vimfiles\plugged\gruvbox'...
    remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021. Please use a personal access token instead.

    fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/morhertz/gruvbox.git/'

Any idea what's going wrong?

Try creating a token for git and then updating your login details. I believe this is an issue with your git and not the plugin.
