I use Azure Devops to host Git, and every day, when I do my first pull/fetch/push of the day, the Git Credentials manager pops up and asks me to Authenticate. After agreeing, it generates a new PAT on my account and uses that connection all day. The next morning it will ask for authentication again and it will generate a new PAT, even though the prior one isn't set to expire until 2025.
I have hundreds of PATs called "Git: https://<companyAddress> on <computerName>" with permissions on Code (Read & Write); Packaging (Read).
I've created my own PAT and went to the Tools > Options > Authentication and delete all references to DevOps and re-set it up with the PAT. I get the Authentication OK green checkmark. As soon as I go and do a fetch, I get the credential manager again asking for my windows auth. If I click cancel, it fails and tries again, showing the auth screen again. If I accept it generates a new PAT and works for the rest of the day. I fully expect tomorrow it will ask again to authenticate myself and make a new PAT for me.
I've tried uninstalling and deleting SourceTree and Altassian folders from AppData/Local and AppData/Roaming, and that didn't help either.
