Using a Github Token for SSO
Post Body

Specifically I'm trying to login to FreeCodeCamp.org's Web Interface using Github for SSO through via an Access Token (With the Read E-Mail Scope), as I don't need to Actually login to Github completely, and I'd rather not use my account password to login. (And FreeCodeCamp's E-Mail token login is not working for me Again, and I'm not in the mood to troubleshoot that Again. Why they won't let users set a password if they so choose is BEYOND me).

The documentation suggests we can use said token in place of a password, but I've tried both "Classic" and "Fine Tuned" Tokens (With and without the ghp_ / githubpat) to no avail. Neither works in a password field when trying to login using Github. And as there's no other way (I can find) to generate a temporary password (Outside of just changing it back and forth, which seems excessive), I figured this was the best bet.

Am I overlooking something?
