Suddenly getting "No supported authentication methods available" when pushing to github

I started a github project a few weeks ago. I was able to push changes without any problems (I'm using TortoiseGIT).

Suddenly today when I tried to push my changes, I got "PuTTY Fatal Error" "Disconnected: No supported authentication methods availble" error window.

Anything you can recommend to remedy the problem?

Solution

  • I figured it out - it happened because I reinstalled TortoiseGIT since starting to work on the project. Pulls went smoothly, but as soon as I tried to push back my changes TortoiseGIT needed my authentication key, which was not configured.

    Edit

    To resolve, I simply cleared all authentication data from my TortoiseGit, under: Context menu "Tortoise Git" -> Settings -> Saved Data -> Authentication data [Clear]
