Link Github to Namecheap: Validation failed

Tags:

github

dns

I am trying to link my Github account to my Namecheap account so I can use a custom domain for my Github page, but when I try to login this happens:

Validation Failed

A few notes that might be handy:

  • I use 2 factor authentication on GH
  • I tried using my regular password but it told me to use my 2FA OTP code
  • I generated a personal token on GH and used that instead of my password to login (which produced the error)

Any help would be much appreciated!

I chatted with the helpdesk and he said that you have to create the cname record pointing to your github account manually.
