fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://

[phirlikar]

I am trying to pull code from remote repository and I am now facing this error. I have tried setting and unsetting the credentials file which was working before. What am I missing here?

G'day!

The most common issue customers are experiencing related to authentication is due to the deprecation of GIT username/password in favour of App Passwords on 01/03/2022:

You will need to make use of an AppPassword for communicating to GIT via HTTPS.
We have documentation for usage of app passwords at the following link:
https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/app-passwords/#Create-an-app-password
If you are using SourceTree as your GIT client an article with instructions can be found here:
https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Sourcetree-articles/Bug-Fix-Sourcetree-for-Windows-authentication-error-when/ba-p/1965968

Hope this helps.
Cheers!

Thanks, Ben.

I had already created an app password. I had some caching issues.

Working well for me now.
