'git push heroku master' is still asking for authentication

Question

I have executed:

$ heroku login 

But when I try to push, I'm still asked for authentication:

$ git push heroku master Username for 'https://git.heroku.com': <email> Password for 'https://<email>@git.heroku.com': 

Then I get a WARNING: Do not authenticate with username and password using Git.

I ran heroku login again and authenticated successfully but I still get the same failure.

I've checked the remote:

$ git remote -v heroku https://[email protected]/appname.git (fetch) heroku https://[email protected]/appname.git (push) 

I've also generated a new public key, passed it to Heroku, and validated it: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/keys

I am on Windows 8, with Git 1.9.5.

Answer 1

I got around this by logging in with the following :

username : email used to register to heroku (Also been able to leave this field blank)

password : heroku auth token (API Key)

where the auth token can be retrieved by $ heroku auth:token or via the Account Settings in Heroku

Answer 2

I had the same problem (git couldn't authenticate). It happend that GIT wants to read auth data from %HOME%/_netrc file and on Windows you don't have this variable (only %USERPROFILE% and %HOMEDRIVE% + %HOMEPATH%)

i set HOME to %USERPROFILE% (the place where heroku saved _netrc file) and GIT started working
