[git] Authentication failed for https://xxx.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/_git/project

I have faced the same issue. The error output window looks like this: authentication failed Image

Following the steps resolved the issue:

  1. Go to Control Panel --> Credential Manager --> Windows Credentials

  2. Below Generic Credential, choose an entry of the git & update password.

  3. Password should be same as windows(system) login password.
