Receiving 403 Error From a Repo I’ve Been Added As a Member To

I cloned a project, created a new local branch and started working on it making atomic commits along the way. When I tried to push the code back to the repo I got an “access denied” error. I’ve been talking back and forth with the person who owns the repo and he went and added me as a member. I accepted the invite however I still get the 403 error when trying to push the code. I previously mentioned to him that maybe I need to generate an SSH token for him to add but he said I should be able to push the code without going through all of that. When I tried to push the code I used git push -u origin myBranchName I even tried it with the --setUpstreamOrigin flag. I asked if he gave my account permission to write to the repo and he said he indeed did.
