I am on mac OS unlike this post 39 git push origin MyBranchName 39 throws error quot HTTP Basic Access denied quot I have password configured in GitLab I have SSL key created AFTER the project was made on GitLab When I use an existing folder for a new project and follow the steps below Existing folder cd existing folder git init git remote add origin https gitlab com sobopla Geronimod git git add git commit -m Initial commit git push -u origin master I am prompted to enter my GitLab username and password After password is entered I get remote HTTP Basic Access denied fatal Authentication failed for https gitlab com myname myproject

GO TO C Users lt lt USER gt gt AND DELETE THE gitconfig file then try a command that connects to upstream like git clone git pull or git push You will be prompted to re-enter your credentials Kindly do so

It is certainly a bug ssh works with one of my machines but not the other I solved it follow these Generate an access token with never expire date and select all the options available Remove the existing SSH keys Clone the repo with the https instead of ssh Use the username but use the generated access token instead of password alternatively you can set remote to http by using this command in the existing repo and use this command git remote set-url origin https gitlab com username repo-name git

Create a new access token from gitlab - setting -- access token

Note do not mix GitLab SSL settings and GitLab SSH keys If what you have configured in your GitLab profile is an SSH public key then your HTTPS URL would not use it Regarding your HTTPS credentials double-check if the two-factor authentication is disabled or if you have special characters in your username or password or if you have a Git credential helper git config credential helper

I had the same issue but before I went ahead to implement any of the suggestions on here I checked if I was still logged into my github account I had the problem while working in my Gitlab account I found out I was still logged into my Github account and I logged out of the account immediately I tried to clone again in Gitlab and I didn t have the error and the clone was successfully

I ve faced this same issue after once I ve entered the wrong credentials of my git account The thing that did work for me is open keychain Access - Password - find your entered wrong password and update it and hit save after that you will be able to perform your operations on git without any issue I hope this works for you

For me it was some other git URL placed in config file so I did change it manually Move to git config file and edit it Remove invalid URL if it s there and paste the valid git SSH HTTP URL like below way remote origin url git gitlab com prat3ik my-project git And it was working

It happen every time I m forced to change the Windows password and none of above answers helped to me Try below solution which works for me Go to Windows Credential Manager This is done in a EN-US Windows by pressing the Windows Key and typing credential In other localized Windows variants you need to use the localized term See comments for some examples alternatively you can use the shortcut control name Microsoft CredentialManager in the run dialog WIN R Edit the git entry under Windows Credentials replacing old password with the new one

Strangely enough what worked for me was to sign out and sign back in to the GitLab web UI I have no earthly idea why this worked

[git] GitLab remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied and fatal Authentication

In my case I reinstalled to the latest version of git (currently 2.16.2). I don't know if it was that my old version of git was outdated, but I read on a github page that this should be done if you stumble into https cloning errors. I figured it was an https cloning error as the error focuses on HTTP Basic, while GitLab uses HTTPS. I might be wrong in this thought process, but the solution helped in my case, and I hope this helps anyone in the future!
