Getting "fatal: Authentication failed" -error when sending git commands in Windows 10

Question

After updating domain password, accessing git-repo is no longer possible. VS Code and Source Tree as well as Visual Studio are returning the following error message on pull, push, fetch etc..

fatal: Authentication failed

Normally a credentials pop-up should appear however this is not happening. Also the common recommendation is not working:

git config --global credential.helper wincred

Answer 1

The password is stored in windows credential manager and needs to be updated. Open command prompt and enter the following command to view the list of stored passwords:

rundll32.exe keymgr.dll,KRShowKeyMgr

Scroll down in the list until you spot the git-related entries. Click it and edit the correct password.

Voilà!
