Github link to Namecheap: validation failed

I'm trying to link my Github account to my Namecheap account, so I can use my own domain for my Github page, but when I try to login, this happens:

Validation Failed

A few notes that might come in handy:

  • I am using two factor authentication on GH
  • I tried using my normal password, but he told me to use the OTP 2FA code
  • I created a personal token on GH and used that instead of my login password (which caused the error)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I chatted with support and he said that you need to manually create a cname entry pointing to your github account.
