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):
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.

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.
