automated CLI authentication is failing at the moment for both web-browser based authentication and personal access tokens

[NicerEnterprises]

OS : Linux Kubuntu 22.04LTS, hardware: Core-i7 Intel CPU laptop.
problem :
automated CLI authentication is failing at the moment for both web-browser based authentication and personal access tokens..
i was used to using personal access tokens, and would like to use them again, have made a copy of that code onto paper, and i find it a bit easier to use than the web-browser based code.

This could be the result of cyberwarfare actions on my laptop, via a system i know as the rootkit for the popular civilian operating systems, operated by NATO's intelligence services (Dutch civilian & military intelligence, UK civilian and military intelligence, and of course the USA's versions of those, in particular the CIA.gov, who helped train me for over 20 years of ANTI-TERRORISM-RECRUITER work that i did since a few days after 2001-9-11).
For more information about my status as a peace activist (an US Independent, a Dutch GroenLinks.nl (Green Left.NL) voter), see my facebook pseudonym blog at https://facebook.com/gavanHoverswell and my personal account at https://facebook.com/rene.veerman.90
Other than my peacefan account at usmessageboard.com, i hold no other social media accounts (so just that 1 forum and the 2 fb accounts).
i am NOT anti-conservative or anti-Repbulican or anti-VVD.NL. let that be plenty clear :)
as a martial artist who never even had to throw punches back in anger (yes, i'm that well trained in the various super-secret, super-hard martial arts of the East (see my personal&public kungfu style video playlists at youtube via https://is.gd/cheetahkungfu), i know you'd best be nice & soft when you can, but hard as rock or water tumbling down a 200 feet waterfall when you can't be anything but hard.

and IF it is a rootkit-action, then it's temporary. and non-threatening to my local copies. i also have very recent SD-card backups, which i won't be updating, not even with WIFI turned off and the laptop operating on battery power only after a full shutdown and reboot (WIFI is never really turned off, not in an inner city with a well known laptop)
