Login failure remote debugging ASP.NET WebAPI service hosted as an Azure App Service

Question

I'm trying to remote debug my ASP.NET WebAPI web-service, it is hosted in Azure as an App Service, I am trying to attach to it from Visual Studio 2015 Debug menu, I get this error, I know my login credentials are correct, I freely log into the Azure Portal with the same credentials.

Error Message: Visual Studio was unable to create a secure connection to Authentication failed

Answer 1

According to your screenshot, it seems that you are using the Azure account for authentication.

It seems that we need to use the azure deployment user and password. We could get the user and password for Azure publish profile. We could get the Azure publish profile from Azure Portal.
