I would like my SSH passwords to be remembered automatically when running git pull/push on windows.
I have installed the Microsoft - Git Credential Manager for Windows
The Git Credential Manager is not Working
Environment
You can use git-credential-store to store your passwords unencrypted on the disk, protected only by the permissions of the file system. You can check the credentials stored in the file ~/.git-credentials .
To install the Git Credential Manager, download and double-click the GCMW-1.20. 0.exe installer. It is that easy, it will even install Git for Windows and the Microsoft . Net Framework for you if necessary.
There is no magic because the credential helper is for storing https credentials, not ssh passphrase ones for private keys.
Try an ssh agent, as described in "Working with SSH key passphrases".
Note that is ssh is asking you for a password (not a passphrase), that also could be because your ssh public key is not properly registered on the remote site (and it falls back to username/password way of authentication)
