Authentication issue accessing GitHub repos

claudiutomescu January 28, 2017

Hello, I'm running SourceTree 2.4 on Mac and after entering the correct credentials for my GitHub account I'm getting the following error: 

Could not authorize request with the available token. Please re-authenticate.

I click the "Sign in" button and the loop continues. Please help!

I uninstalled SourceTree 2.4 and installed the older version 2.1.5.

Now the cloning is working without the Authentication errors :-)

My github and bitbucket accounts were the same. Changing my bitbucket account name fixed the issue for me. 

While admittedly annoying, at least things work now and I'm no longer being bestered to supply my password for each character I type.

Having the same annoying problem. The silence is deafening.

I guess I'll start using Tower or something...

I think the problem is in one of the git credential binaries included with sourcetree. I switched to using an external git binary and I haven't had an issue since. I did have to re-login initially.

Same experience after upgrading to SourceTree 2.4 (Mac 10.11.6). It happens with any remote repo. Git on the command line is also asking me to reauthorize. git is able to authenticate and recall the authentication. SourceTree is unable to authenticate even after git authenticates.
