Github OpenSSH asking for password for an https link

I'm attempting to push to a remote repository. The remote origin is an https link. However when I attempt to push I get a prompt for my username, and then an OpenSSH popup window asks for my password. After entering my password (or a personal access token) I get the error



remote: Password authentication is not available for Git operations.
remote: You must use a personal access token or SSH key.
remote: See https://******/settings/tokens or https://******/settings/ssh
fatal: unable to access 'https://******': The requested URL returned error: 403


The git config file is below. In particular all the links look to be https, and not ssh, so I don't know why OpenSSH is asking for a password. I was able to push last week and (as far as I know) I haven't changed anything. I certainly haven't pushed anywhere else since then.
