Warning

You should use token authentication instead of username and password authentication for the following reasons:

• It is strongly recommended by PyPI.
• Tokens can be given access to only a single project, which reduces the possible damage if it is compromised.
• You can change your password without having to update it in CI settings.
• If your PyPI username is the same as your GitHub and you have it set as a secret in a CI service, they will likely scrub it from the build output. This can break things, for example repository links.
• Find more information on how to obtain a token.
