fatal: Authentication failed

[AskYous]

I installed git-credential-manager on my mac. I then try to make it work with my repository hosted on Azure Devops: https://dev.azure.com/yousefshanawany..., but it never pops up a UI or anything and instead prompts me for a password in the terminal.

Is that supposed to happen? Isn't there supposed to be a popup?

I then proceed to give it my Azure Devops password, but it fails and says it's wrong. I even used the "Generate git credentials" feature in Azure Devops but it still gives the same output. I'm stuck.

Did you figure anything out with this? We are having the same problem.

@nick-wegner Check out what we concluded on stackoverflow here. We found an uncomfortable complicated way around it and it worked. I can't really explain it.

The stackoverflow post did not help. Anyone else have any luck fixing this?

@itlackey can you share a screenshot of you attempting to clone the repository?

[itlackey]

I will if you need me to but it looks exactly like the one above.
git pull
[ask for password]
fatal: Authentication failed for xyz

@itlackey Did you enter in the right repository url with your login username in it?

Any update on this issues, I am not able to setup azure repos in my machine.

@chaluvadis use a personal access token as the password. Makes it very easy! 👍

@AskYous Thanks, it worked.

I'd recommend trying GCM Core's macOS preview release
