git pull causes OpenSSH prompt

I haven't changed my Windows AD password, but I'm suddenly getting prompted when performing git commands, like git pull.

enter image description here

I've tried various things, like changing my .gitconfig to use HTTPS instead of SSH (git). I also updated my Windows Credential Manager to make sure it was using the correct AD password.

Someone suggested I abandon SSH and use HTTPS instead. I'm struggling to figure out how to do that. No matter what I do, I keep getting the OpenSSH dialog. How can I change to HTTPS, or stop that dialog from coming up with every git command?

If it helps, here is my .gitconfig (with the diff and merge options removed):

[user]
    name = myuser
    email = [email protected]
[push]
    default = simple
[credential]
    helper = wincred

Looks like this command worked for me:

git config --global credential.useHttpPath true

That caused the last line here to be in the .gitconfig file:

[credential]
    helper = wincred
    useHttpPath = true

The first time I did a git pull, I got the prompt again. But after that I'm no longer getting the login dialog.
