How to fix git "fatal: Authentication failed" issue after password change?
Problem:
I have the local git repository which is set up to track the remote git repository. I have changed the password of the remote git service. Then trying to push the change from local to the remote repository. I got the below issue.
fatal: Authentication failed for 'git.example.com/test.git
Solution:
You have to update the remote repository password details in the credentials manager.
Search for "Credential Manager" in the start menu and open.
Click "Windows Credentials"
Find the git remote repo and edit the password with the latest password.
If you try the git command again, it should work without any issues.
