         User has two factor auth enabled, an API Token or Trusted Publisher must be used to upload in place of password.
Solution

  • create API token from your pypi account then give username =__token__ and password=APITokenafter cmd twine upload -r testpypi dist/*

    or if you are using Twine to upload your projects to PyPI, set up your $HOME/.pypirc file like this:

    [testpypi]
  username = __token__
  password = API Token
