GitHub can't connect to IntelliJ after updating to 2017.3.3

I've just tried to update my IntelliJ to version 2017.3.3 and I can no longer fetch or pull into my GitHub repos. It will first prompt me with this screen:

enter image description here

Then, I will correctly enter my credentials, after which it will prompt me with this one:

enter image description here

And then it will go back and forth between those two, with me correctly entering my credentials, until finally it alerts me with:

enter image description here

I've checked through a browser, I'm able to log in and out of Git with the credentials I'm using in Intellij. I've also checked in IntelliJ File | Settings | Version Control | GitHub and running a test, having it prompt me for the two factor authentication. That returns a success from IntelliJ. Any idea on what's going on? Thanks!

"NOTICE: Experiencing GitHub push/fetch problems? As of 22 Feb 2018, GitHub has disabled support for weak encryption which means many users will suddenly find themselves unable to authenticate using a Git for Windows which (impacts versions older than v2.16.0). DO NOT PANIC, there's a fix. Update Git for Windows to the latest (or at least v2.16.0)."

You need to update the Git Credentials Manager and possibly Git itself.

Looks like the second prompt is issued by the credential-helper configured in the git client itself. Does git fetch work from the command line?

I would recommend unsetting all gi credential helpers and let IntelliJ manage your passwords. See e.g. this thread to unset them
