 1. Create a new personal access token (PAT) with the appropriate scopes for the tasks you want to accomplish. If your organization requires SSO, you must enable SSO for your new token.

-  **Note:** If you select the `write:packages` scope, deselect the `repo` scope when creating the PAT. Adding a PAT with the `repo` scope as a secret in your repository allows the credential to be accessible to all collaborators in the repository. This gives unnecessary additional access when a PAT with the `repo` scope is used within an action.

+  **Note:** By default, when you select the `write:packages` scope for your personal access token (PAT) in the user interface, the `repo` scope will also be selected. The `repo` scope offers unnecessary and broad access, which we recommend you avoid using for GitHub Actions workflows in particular. For more information, see "[Security hardening for GitHub Actions](/actions/getting-started-with-github-actions/security-hardening-for-github-actions#considering-cross-repository-access)." As a workaround, you can select just the `write:packages` scope for your PAT in the user interface with this url: `https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=write:packages`.

+PATs can grant broad access to your account. You should select only the necessary `read:packages`, `write:packages`, or `delete:packages` scope when creating a PAT to authenticate to the {% data variables.product.prodname_container_registry %}.

 To authenticate to {% data variables.product.prodname_github_container_registry %} within a {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} workflow, use the `GITHUB_TOKEN` for the best security and experience.
 
 For guidance on updating your workflows that authenticate to `ghcr.io` with a personal access token, see "[Upgrading a workflow that accesses `ghcr.io`](/packages/guides/using-github-packages-with-github-actions#upgrading-a-workflow-that-accesses-ghcrio)."
