After installing tokens, still get HTTPError: 403 Forbidden from https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/ UsernamePassword...

Problem description

It did the following steps (on MacOS):

Activating 2FA on Pypi and created a token.

Checking the .pypirc file in the home directory.

[pypi]
username = __token__
password = ...

Checking that pypi finds the file.

Deletign the pypi entry from my keyring.

Clearing the Python cache.

When doing:

twine upload dist/* --verbose

I still get the error:

HTTPError: 403 Forbidden from https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/
Username/Password authentication is no longer supported. Migrate to API Tokens or Trusted Publishers instead. See https://pypi.org/help/#apitoken and https://pypi.org/help/#trusted-publishers

What should I do?
