Forgot my password 

Sign in with a different Microsoft account 

same credentials are working different computer. It was working fine until I updated visual studio 2017 to latest version 15.7.3. I tried to reset password, reinstalled git, reset VS settings. I get same issue if i try to do git pull using tortoise git.


Solution

  • I deleted C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\TortoiseGit\cache64 file and issue resolved.
