"Fatal: authentication failed" error when pushing to bitbucket repo

Question

I am trying to authenticate in windows 7 terminal : git push. Used to work before but now i am getting :

fatal: authentication failed for https://bitbucket.srv....

However i can login through my browsers to same repo. Is this a git issue? How to resolve?

Answer 1

Go to Control Panel -> Credentials Manager -> Windows Credentials and see if there's an entry for it in there. If so, remove it and attempt to push again. You should then be re-prompted for username and password.
