locked out after update

[Pat Johnston]

I recently updated to 2.4.8.0 on Windows 10. Attempting Pull from my remote bitbucket repository now gives me "git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false fetch origin
remote: Invalid username or password. If you log in via a third party service you must ensure you have an account password set in your account profile."

My username and passw0rd hasn't changed and I'm not prompted for a password. How can I fix this?

I always seem to have a problem after updating.

Hi

In the Windows Credential Manager delete any entries prefixed by 'git:' that refer the https://bitbucket.org or https://username@bitbucket.org.

This will force Git to request new credentials, which you can enter. You should then be good to go.

Thanks Michael,

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any 'git' credentials. And I'm not being prompted for a new credential. Last time I had this problem I had to reinstall an earlier version. Maybe it's time to reinstall?

I had to install 1.10.23.1 to make it work. None of the version 2 installs seem to work for me.

What version of git are you using?

I wonder if you have an older version of the Git Credential Manager. Git >= 2.15 works best

I'm on git 2.14.1 on the Windows 10 workstation. I'll be offsite until next Tuesday and will update git and SourceTree then.

Thanks, Pat
