I'm working on Windows x64 and I'm using GitHub Desktop to clone a GitLab repository. I'm having the below error, when trying to clone using HTTPS. Note: I edited the URL address to not show the full URL. "2020-06-03T08:50:46.479Z - error: [ui] git -c credential.helper= clone --recursive --progress -- https://.../my-repository.git C:\Temp\GitHubDesktop-Repositories\my-repository exited with an unexpected code: 128. stderr: Cloning into 'C:\Temp\GitHubDesktop-Repositories\my-repository'... remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied fatal: Authentication failed for ' https://.../my-repository.git/ ' (The error was parsed as 3: Authentication failed. Some common reasons include: You are not logged in to your account: see File > Options. You may need to log out and log back in to refresh your token. You do not have permission to access this repository. The repository is archived on GitHub. Check the repository settings to confirm you are still permitted to push commits. If you use SSH authentication, check that your key is added to the ssh-agent and associated with your account.)" I was expecting to pop-up a window asking username and password so i can add the access token configured in GitLab. I already did the following (but without sucess): Unistall GitHub Desktop Delete C:\Users\MyUser\Roaming\AppData\GitHub Desktop Confirm that Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Credential Manager does not have any GitHub credential I'm not logged in GitHub, as the repository is from GitLab and no login is necessary (except from the necessary authentication i would like to configure "username and password/access token" that should pop-up when trying to clone). When I used different computer (same Windows x64) i was able to configure correctly and indeed the username and password box appeared where I could add the details. How can I manage to trigger that authentication window to update the username and password? There is any file that I need to delete? Thank you.

GitHub Desktop - Clone GitLab repository via HTTPS

I'm working on Windows x64 and I'm using GitHub Desktop to clone a GitLab repository.

I'm having the below error, when trying to clone using HTTPS. Note: I edited the URL address to not show the full URL.

"2020-06-03T08:50:46.479Z - error: [ui] git -c credential.helper= clone --recursive --progress -- https://.../my-repository.git C:\Temp\GitHubDesktop-Repositories\my-repository exited with an unexpected code: 128. stderr: Cloning into 'C:\Temp\GitHubDesktop-Repositories\my-repository'... remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://.../my-repository.git/' (The error was parsed as 3: Authentication failed. Some common reasons include:

I was expecting to pop-up a window asking username and password so i can add the access token configured in GitLab.

I already did the following (but without sucess):

Unistall GitHub Desktop
Delete C:\Users\MyUser\Roaming\AppData\GitHub Desktop
Confirm that Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Credential Manager does not have any GitHub credential
I'm not logged in GitHub, as the repository is from GitLab and no login is necessary (except from the necessary authentication i would like to configure "username and password/access token" that should pop-up when trying to clone).

It seems is a bug and known issue in the software:

https://github.com/desktop/desktop/issues/9843

https://github.com/desktop/desktop/issues/9926

There will be a new release of GitHub Desktop. I will wait for the new release of the software to make sure this still not occurs.
