Cloning into 'MyProject'...

Solution 1:
If you enabled two-factor authentication in your GitHub account you won't be able to push via HTTPS using your accounts password. Instead you need to generate a personal access token. This can be done in the application settings of your GitHub account. Using this token as your password should allow you to push to your remote repository via HTTPS. Use your username as usual.
For creating personal access token.

You may also need to update the origin for your repository if it is set to HTTPS. Do this to switch to SSH:
git remote -v
git remote set-url origin [email protected]:USERNAME/REPONAME.git
