I have never used a password for git. It's always been ssh keys, across github, gitlab, bitbucket, github enterprise, stash, a folder on a server I have, etc. It wasn't something I was familiar with before the first time I used github in 2009 as a teenager, and it did not take too long to figure out. Nowadays if copy/pasting the CLI commands github gives you and putting that in your profile settings is offputting, a lot of GUIs exist that will automate the setup process. It's not something where you're going to lose lots of time adjusting your settings, and it's not like github did not give a lot of warning on this change. There's plenty of security behaviours I find overbearing, but I have to say I'm pretty ok with how github has been handling their transitions.
