Can't login with my Gitlab account on SourceTree

Ken_79osq9

When I try to login with my Gitlab account, it keep failing to authenticate with error "Authentication failed" no matter if it's username or email. I login on gitlab.com and it works perfect

I lookup Fiddler and I got a response message

{"message":"401 Unauthorized"}

Please help

Hello! Could you make sure you're using a personal access token for your account? Your normal password will not work.

Sorry for late reply. I didn't

I created personal access token and it works

Thanks

Has anyone run into this issue, on Git push/pull, a password prompt comes up where the Gitlab password and the token do not work?

Hi did you ever get a resolution on this issue with the password.

I have generated another SSH key but to no avail.

i cant seem to get the right password. and also doing the steps again, it prompts not to save the KEY

PROBLEM SOLVED

The solution was (on Mac):

- revoke the old Access Token from GitLab (which had only the next Scopes: read_repository, write_repository)

- generate new Access Token having the next Scopes: api, read_user, read_repository, write_repository (it was strange that for other colleague it worked only with read_repository, write_repository)

- on SourceTree: go to SourceTree -> Preferences ->Accounts -> Add -> fill-in the details as in the following image (and for Password use the Access Token):

After this, I was able to Clone Repository ("Clone from URL").
