After I do git push origin master, I enter my password. I get error authentication failed for treehouse git etc

After I do git push origin master, I enter my username it works, then I enter my github password. I get error authentication failed for github/myusername/treehouse git etc. I checked my password and its working when I log into Github. But its not working in command line and I am getting that error. How do I solve this issue.

Did you try to copy/paste your password Loren Robinson ? Sometimes it's a simple typo.

If that doesn't help, could you copy everything you tried here, including the error, from the command line?
