Authentication failed for Azure Git

I'm trying to clone my webapp in Azure.

When I run git clone https://[email protected]:443/appname.git the terminal asks me for my password.

But when I fill in my password, it keeps saying that the authentication has failed.

Even though I changed my password plenty of times in the Portal (Settings -> Set deployment credentials).

Any reason it keeps saying that my authentication has failed?

I'm using local Git deploy.

I disconnected and re-connected and it worked.

In my case, I had to provide the Personal Access Token (PAT) that was created when I created a new Azure Organization, instead of any password. This PAT needs to be saved by you since it will not be available later after you close the PAT screen.

I had forgotten my PAT and had to regenerate it and provide it for the Git login, for this issue to resolve.

I had a same problem because of saved login info in Macbook.

I entered Key Chain Access App of Mac.
Then, I found login info under login, opened it.
I updated password with my Credential Password of Azure Repo. (Click "Generate Git Credentials")
Done! Now, I can pull my branch in SourceTree.

Yes many of the answers here are pointing to the correct path, but my case:- I was given a url to access git repos on azure cloud for which I'm perfectly fine to access/browse the code on browser (Vs) when I'm trying to clone I've got the same issue.

So when you click on clone as shown in below image, you've got to Generate Git credentials; this is weird, not sure why, probably they've setup my account to access azure cloud, which can't be used to clone git repos(means can't be used as git credentials). This is something different from what I've seen with AWS/gitlab/bitbucket, maybe an issue with account setup, or if it's common thing for repos on Azure and if you're in same issue - give it a try.

Another one, as everyone has already mentioned, please don't try to connect to url which is produced over there (something looks like):

https://[email protected]/project-name/apps/_git/library/

Instead try to connect thru your GIT username and then use password:

https://[email protected]/project-name/apps/_git/library/

As a tip: if your username has special characters in it, Git cmd/bash will throw errors, so replace those with valid characters, ex. :-

@ can be replaced with %40
+ can be replaced with %2B

something like : https://username%[email protected]/project-name/apps/_git/library/

I suddenly had the same problem. It turned out to be a problem with my local station and the Internet adapter being rejected leading to not authenticated. Disabling IPV6 solved the problem for me: See https://stackoverflow.com/a/69712045/7302498

Login into Azure Dev Ops portal.
Go to Project you wish to clone.
Select Repo from left menu.
Click on Clone from right top corner.

If you unable to clone the projects/repos,

Check proxy settings or VPN if provided
Check repository path access
Check your access or password expiry

If you are facing login issue,

Generate PAT (Personal Access token) for respective version control system like Git, Azure etc.
If PAT fails, create alternate credentials
If this both are right and still you are unable to access then
1. Goto your repository click on Clone button, there you can find Generate Credentials button. Try to login with those newly generated credentials.

Check for all above options first. If you are following everything and still facing issues then try to take help from colleagues/team leader/ manager or client.

I got this error in Visual studio because I used the sync feature when the branch hadn't been created in 'https://dev.azure.com/foo/bar' yet.

Instead of doing a sync, I did a push & then it prompted me for my credentials. After that it worked fine.

Hopefully this helps someone.

If you are using Sourcetree and you tried all of the answers here and nothing works.

try cloning your project again using this url structure as source:

https://<username>:<password>@dev.azure.com/project-name/apps/_git/library/

username and password comes from the Generate Git Credentials button when you clone your branch.

I had to do it this way

Generate Git Credentials
git remote add origin https://username:[email protected]/xxx/_git/xxx
git add.
git commit -m init
push -u origin --all

Current Azure Structure for adding credential

Use the highlighted user, password, confirm password section to create an user credential. Use this to proceed where you were stuck.

Using Mac I had the same issue. Using Git Credential manager worked.

Installed GCM using brew https://github.com/microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-Core
Connected git to remote Azure Repo
On git push, pop up requested username and password
All connected.

Don't be surprised when you see PAT (Personal Access Token) in you settings.

"Once authenticated, the credential manager creates and caches a personal access token for future connections to the repo. Git commands that connect to this account won't prompt for user credentials until the token expires. A token can be revoked through Azure Repos."

Below link should help

Some of the above brought me close, such as the post by @Nilay Vishwakarma but I finally found the cause of my authentication issue to be that my password contained a '$' followed by a '..u7' which I eventually noticed in powershell was highlighted yellow when I typed.

I thus assumed it could be the CLi has an issue with this character in passwords (even though it wasn't mentioned as a reserved character in this tutorial).

I re-ran the 'az webapp deployment user set --user-name [user] --password [pwd]' command with a revised password without the '$' and was able to then enter my credentials and authenticate.

None of the above solution worked for me.

The reason why the same error was observed in my deployment was because my password contained a character "@".

This malformed the Git clone url for my Azure web app. When I changed my password by removing @, it solved this issue. You can change @ to %40 in your connection string as well.

Navigate to the Deployment Center >> Deployment Credentials, there will be application credentials for local git. Use the username and password there will work.

In my case none of the above methods solved my issue (but they directed me to find out where I'm going wrong)

I tried both auto generated App credentials and my custom created user credentials, and every time I was getting authentication failed message.

The description on the credentials page was advising me to have the username in the following format:
<app-name>\<username>

This was why authentication failed. As soon as I put my username without the <app-name> prefix the authentication passed and everything worked smoothly.

Hope this information helps

I had the same problem with my site and it turned out the issue is with the site url: the automatically generated remote url was: https://[email protected]/site.git

On the other hand the portal showed: https://[email protected]:443/site.git

After updating the remote url in git with the following command:

git remote set-url azure
https://<user>@<site>.scm.azurewebsites.net/<site>.git
https://<user>@<site>.scm.azurewebsites.net:443/<site>.git

things started working as expected.

The morale of the story: check the deployment url as well as the password.

I had a similar problem where the automatically generated git clone url was:

https://[email protected]/site.git

So instead I had to replace this with my own account username

https://[email protected]/site.git

This then prompted me for the password for my account correctly:

git clone https://[email protected]/site.git

this may help: with my first webapp, i had to go to Deployment Center, Deployment Credentials. And then use either the App Credentials or create User Credentials. After this, delete the cached credentials on the local machine (windows: Control Panel\User Accounts\Credential Manager). run "git push webapp master:master" again, enter either of the Deployment Credentials. That worked.

What worked for me is I created personal access token. Click username in top right corner > Security > Select Personal Access token from left pane > New Token. Provide token name and scope for your token and Click create. Save that token and use it as password.

Accepted answer did not work for me but this worked.

Check your set Azure URL with

git config --get remote.<azure-remote-name>.url

Reset azure url with following command

git remote set-url <azure-remote-name>
https://<user>@<sitename>[_<slotName>].scm.azurewebsites.net:443/<site>.git

Try pushing your code using
```
git push <azure-remote-name>
```
It will open windows authentication screen which says to enter credential to connect to https://<user>@<sitename>[_<slotName>].scm.azurewebsites.net/<site>.git
Cancel this window. It will prompt the basic credential window which says to enter credential to connect to https://<user>@<sitename>[_<slotName>].scm.azurewebsites.net:433/<site>.git

Enter in your credential and it works.

On mine, the password was never created when I set the deployment user from the cli. I had to go to the web app, app services, for the app, then set the deployment credentials

For me it was a matter of cloning the project with the remote url and cancelling the windows security prompt. Afterwards, it'll ask you for the password. Once you're able to clone it, you can push it successfully.

Moral of the story: Clone it first before pushing.

I had the same problem when try to git clone https://<username>@praat.scm.azurewebsites.net:443/<repo-name>.git . I solved the problem by removing the port.

So your new url should not have the port 443.
