If you have changed your password, you can use

git remote show origin

This will prompt for a username and password wherein you can enter your credentials.

maybe you change your password. I has the same problem,then use upstairs method works. Remember to replace url [email protected]:user/repo.git by yourself.

git remote -v 
git remote remove origin
git remote add origin [email protected]:user/repo.git

Regarding two factor authentication - after re-enabling 2fa I had to delete and re-add the remote endpoint for git to successfully pull. 

# ERROR: Repository not found.
# fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
# copy and paste ssh destination [email protected]:user/repo.git

git remote -v 
git remote remove origin
git remote add origin [email protected]:user/repo.git

I had the same problem with my first GitHub repository just now. In my case, the problem was related to having enabled two-factor authentication. I had GitHub make an authentication token since the command line tools aren't aware of two-factor authentication.

The problem was that double-clicking the token to select it somehow selected a space to its left as well, resulting in me copying an invalid code. Carefully click-dragging from one end of the token to the other worked.

If you want to push to https://github.com/AntonDerenivsky/lado, you should use the credentials of AntonDerenivsky.

Using 'fresa' would only work if fresa has been declared as collaborator for AntonDerenivsky/lado repo.

Or you need to fork that repo, and use:

git remote rename origin upstream
git remote add origin  https://[email protected]/fresa/lado
git push -u origin master

If AntonDerenivsky is your gitHub account, the the login to use is 'AntonDerenivsky', not 'fresa'.
