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

So for me the problem was that I had created my GitLab account via linking my GitHub account to it This meant that no password formally existed for the account as it was created via hotlink between GitHub and GitLab I fixed it by going to GitLab Settings - Password - and writing the same password as my GitHub account had

Before digging into the solution lets first see why this happens Before any transaction with git that your machine does git checks for your authentication which can be done using An SSH key token present in your machine and shared with git-repo most preferred OR Using your username password mostly used Why did this happen In simple words this happened because the credentials stored in your machine are not authentic i e there are chances that your password stored in the machine has changed from whats there in git therefore Solution Head towards control panel and search for Credential Manager look for your use git url and change the creds There you go this works with mostly every that windows keep track off

Just for reference I encountered this issues while using the URL wrongly after I generated and pasted the ssh rsa pub to the SSH Keys in gitlab git clone http gitlab x Cloning into start-up remote HTTP Basic Access denied remote You must use a personal access token with api scope for Git over HTTP remote You can generate one at http gitlab x Solved by using the following URL instead git clone gitlab gitlab xxx com your project git

Go to Windows Credential Manager press Windows Key and type credential to edit the git entry under Windows Credentials Replace old password with the new one

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

None of the above solutions worked for me and I don t have admin rights on my laptop but they eventually led me to the git tools credential storage doc My setup Windows 10 git version 2 18 0 windows 1 Clone through HTTPS link This solution works if you use wincred as credential helper gt git config --global credential helper wincred Changing the helper to cache should do the trick as it will ask you to provide your credentials again To set it to cache just type gt git config --global credential helper cache Check your update is active gt git config --global credential helper cache You should now be able to clone pull fetch as before

If your trying to login Gitlab with your existing Git account You need to reset your password of Gitlab for the first time Step Navigate to setting by clicking your profile icon drop down menu on top right corner Step Go to settings Step Click on the lock icon or glyphicon icon i e password Step Enter the new password for Gitlab

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
