Use password-store (aka pass) with forge and github-review

We can use pass as an emacs auth-source backend to access credentials.

Add auth-source-pass (included with emacs 26) to your emacs config:

(require 'auth-source-pass)
(auth-source-pass-enable)

This prepends password-store to the variable auth-sources.

Add the GitHub access token to pass with auth info.

pass insert -m api.github.com
<API_TOKEN>
<GH_USERNAME>^github-review
<GH_USERNAME>^forge

This allows forge and github-review to access the same token under a single pass entry.

Done 🎉

To view what other pass entries forge/github-review access, enable debug and check the Messages buffer with an operation that requires authentication such as forge-add-repository:

(setq auth-source-debug t)
