SourceTree 2.5.2 keeps asking for Github password.

Question

I have been a SourceTree user for quite a while, I do love the application and is the one I recommend for anybody wanting an efficient UI on top of Git. That being said, the application has been plagued with authentication issues that are borderline infuriating, to the point I went using GitKraken for a little while. Truth is I prefer SourceTree, find it much powerful and I'm used to it. So I went back a few days ago and I still have issues connecting on Github, my password being asked each time I push. I re-created my Github account, used OAuthm signed in, etc... but no dice.

Is there anything I can do?

Cheers,

Thomas

Thomas, Did that solve the problem?

I too can't login to my github account in ST 2.5.2. Keeps saying the authentication failed due to bad credentials.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for getting back to me, I think I solved the problem by deleting all the SourceTree entries in my Keychain. I'll come back if they reappear.

Cheers,

Thomas

Please file a ticket on https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREE and we'll follow up to track down what's going on in this particular case. Adding OAuth was a fundamental architectural change and we continue to iron out any kinks that remain. Thank you for your patience.
