Thank you Roland.
I use the token. So for me it is OK.
I only want to tell you, that there is (maybe) a problem with the credentials method.
No, there is no @ in my password.

Hello @astridx Does your password have a @ in it? That would be a known issue and later this year the username/password will be removed from the Patch Tester because GitHub is going to remove that as well.
So the advice is to always use the token.
