Hi JitteryCoyote63

I would like to switch to using a single auth token.

What is the rationale behind to that ?

Yes, I switched to that, thanks!

PATs can be simply used as passwords, with some fixed username (in GitHub, the username is usually your username, in other services it's sometimes a fixed name)

Yes! not a strong use case though, rather I wanted to ask if it was supported somehow

I can live with the current setup for now

JitteryCoyote63 do you mean a personal access token (PAT)?
