You need to set up a Personal Access Token.

The below is from the documentation

Personal access tokens (PATs) are alternate passwords that you can use to authenticate in to Azure DevOps and Team Foundation Server (TFS). In this article, we walk you through how to create or revoke PATS.

Azure DevOps Services and TFS use enterprise-grade authentication to help protect and secure your data. Clients like Visual Studio and Eclipse (with the Team Explorer Everywhere plug-in) also support Microsoft account and Azure AD authentication.

For non-Microsoft tools that integrate into Azure DevOps but don't support Microsoft account or Azure AD authentication, you must use PATs. Examples include Git, NuGet, or Xcode. To set up PATs for non-Microsoft tools, use Git credential managers or create them manually.
