You can clone it via https and it will ask for username/password. This will only work if 2 factor is disabled.

The most ideal way would be to install git and to copy your private ssh key over to the second computer. I am not sure how you setup but usually the ssh key is located in ~/.ssh and you want the private one ( not .pub ).
