Git authentification failed with no password prompt

August 28th, 2019

Sometimes when trying to pull/push to a git repo, (on my own server or github), I get something like

fatal: Authentication failed for ‘https://….'”

Authentication failed

Now the problem is that I don’t even get asked for a username and password … sounds a bit stupid if you ask me.

On Windows 10:

  • Press Start, (the windows key)
  • Start typing “Credential Manager” or look for it in the control panel
  • Then select the Windows Credentials
  • Look for whatever website is the one that has your credentials
    Usually something like git:http://...
  • Remove the entry or edit it.
    If you remove it you will be asked for the credentials again.
