Autentification failed How to reenter a password?

Javier DB

Hi! I'm using Sourcetree on a Mac. I get a message when trying to clone a repository: 

fatal: Authentication failed

But I can't find the way to reenter the password. Please help

Thanks!

Hi

Try this

Option 1: Clear Stored Credentials (Windows Credential Manager)

1. **Close SourceTree**.
2. Open the **Windows Credential Manager**:
- Press `Win + S`, type **"Credential Manager"**, and open it.
3. Go to **Windows Credentials**.
4. Look for entries related to:
- `git:https://...`
- `SourceTree`
- `Atlassian`
5. Delete those entries.
6. Reopen SourceTree. When you try to `pull`, `push`, or `fetch`, it will prompt you to enter your credentials again.

Option 2: Reconfigure Authentication Method

1. Open SourceTree.
2. Go to **Tools > Options > Authentication**.
3. In the **Accounts** tab, select the affected account.
4. Click **Edit**.
5. Change the authentication method to:
- **OAuth** (for Bitbucket)
- **Personal Access Token (PAT)** (for GitHub or Azure DevOps)
6. Enter the new token or log in as required.

Option 3: Manually Reconfigure the Repository

1. Open the repository in SourceTree.
2. Go to **Repository > Repository Settings**.
3. In the **Remotes** section, edit the repository URL if needed.
4. Save and retry the operation.
