Your password issue needs to be solved by using the latest Git version.Ģ. Going forward, I'm going to just 'Use System Git', so that I only have to maintain Git in one place.ġ. (My system Git is updated to the latest version.)Īlternatively, there is a button in Sourcetree to 'Update Embedded Git' - this should also solve your problem.

I was able to solve my very similar authentication issue by - in Sourcetree - going to Tools/Options/Git, and selecting 'Use System Git'.

**When Sourcetree updates, it does not seem to update it's embedded version of Git.**

One is the system Git (you can see this version in your command prompt), and the other is the *embedded* Git, which is inside of your Sourcetree application. The short answer is this: You have *two* installations of Git on your machine.

The others have given up and are now using the command line.Īlthough I'm a Windows user, my recent experience may be relevant to yours, because it was very similar. I am the 4th person in my office to get this problem. added 2 factor authentication then disabled it deleted files from ~/Library/Application Support/SourceTree deleted files from ~/Library/Preferences/ deleted sourcetree logins from my Keychain Access deleted my account then added back my account in SourceTree app. upgraded SourceTree to 2.7, then downgraded to 2.6.3. Here is a list of things I have tried so far, all in vain subsequent calls to clone will give me, 'This is not a valid source path' and then again apple keychain then pops up asking me for my password, but the very same password that works everywhere else does not work in the keychain i log in no problem (yes my password is valid) one or more parameters required to renew token is nil.' Created a new SSH key with passphrase, but won't work either, keeps asking for me to start the pageant and Load the key, but if I load it, it throws the very same pop up once and again.Something went wrong. Deleted all the accounts, and added current Bitbucket one (The one where the projects are) This I was used to and I just kept ignoring it, and can't remember a time when it prevented me from pulling, but maybe it is related? I managed to perform a pull from the consoleīut problem persists when performing a regular pull from Sourcetree.Īlso, maybe this is interesting, I have this problem after using CCleaner (Default options) to recover from some weird FPS lowering condition, which was fixed with the CCLeaning, that may or may not have caused this problem with Sourcetree autenthication.Īnd last but not least, the 'SSH pageant' keeps asking for a Key. Tried updating embeded one, it wont finish updating because problem persists, which also spawns a dozen more login windows.Īlso tried removing all saved passwords, and guess what? Tried changing from embeded to system, problem persists. I already had Credential thingy v.14, tried updating to v.18, problem persists. Logon failed, use ctrl+c to cancel basic credential prompt.įatal: Authentication failed for ' with errors, see above. Git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false -no-optional-locks -c credential.helper= -c credential.helper='C:/Users/MANUS~1.DES/AppData/Local/ATLASS~1/SOURCE~1/GIT_EX~1/GIT-CR~2.EXE' fetch origin This password works on the Bitbucket site too.īut when I try to Fetch or Pull, Sourcetree prompts the Bitbucket Login pop up, which doesn't accept any password as correct, and throws this error: Under Options > Authentication > Accounts, I have the Atlassian acount where the project is hosted, and the password is set to HTTPS with Authentication 'OK'. I reseted my password from the atlassian page, nothing works, I tried dozens of suggestions from alegedly succesful solutions for the last 5 hours straight and nothing works, I give up, this makes no sense and I need assistance, please help me. Not really sure on the details such as why it works but at least it works, so it might be able to help others in that situation. Once this is done, then Sourcetree will add your user credentials. I keep getting prompted with the Password Window no matter if I enter a right or wrong password. I have followed the instructions for this SO answer. I had to delete the repo in sourcetree and clone it to sourcetree using an existing remote git url (which is not how I got it into sourcetree initially). This allowed me for at least one normal fetch, and push so far. If I go to the Accounts list (Tools > Options. If I enter my credentials, the dialog goes away, but comes back roughly 10 minutes later. Once there, search and destroy this archive: Approximately once every ten minutes, SourceTree displays a 'Windows Security' dialog with the title 'Git Credential Manager for Windows' and message 'Enter your credentials for '. This is what after 8 hours and 3 friends less solved the problem: (error message: 'invalid format try plain text' but I went to Notepad and still won't enter, anyway. SOLVED: I WRITE IT HERE AS THIS PAGE WON'T LET ME ANSWER
