How to clone Azure git repository using username and password?

I'm trying to clone a git repository from azure devops but when I run the following command the authentication fails.

git clone https://myazuredevopsemail:[email protected]/OrganizationName/RepoName/_git/RepoName

Am I doing this wrong? How can I clone using only my visualstudio.com credentials? I assume this must be possible because when I exclude the username (email) and password from the above url and simply do a git clone, a 'git credentials' pop-up opens up and I am able to successfully login with my email and password.

Please note that I cannot use Personal Access Tokens or SSH keys for my use-case, since PATs and SSH keys are per-organization in the azure devops authentication model. Whereas I'm writing a script that runs the git clone command for many different organizations (all of whom my visualstudio account has access to)

Instead of myazuredevopsemail use your devops username.

The issue with the email address is it contains the @ symbol and the URL decoder thinks that your email domain is the devops domain (and then is presented with another @ for the actual devops domain).
