    Description

      Expected Behavior

      Be able to import repositories from GitHub on JIRA using username/password authentication for GitHub accounts with or without two-factor authentication.

      Actual Behavior

      If the GitHub account has two-factor authentication configured, no repositories will be displayed after passing authentication (inputting username, password and, subsequently, verifiaction code) on JIRA's External System Import.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Go to Administration > System > External System Import;
      2. Choose GitHub;
      3. Select Github.com account;
      4. Type in the username and password;
      5. Hit Next;
      6. Type in the Authentication Code;
      7. Hit Next;
      8. Notice that no repositories will appear on the screen (see screenshot);

      Workaround

      Generate a Personal Access Token on GitHub and use that for authentication.
