GitLab remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied and fatal Authentication

It happens every time I’m forced to change the Windows password and none of the above answers helped me.

Try the below solution which works for me:

  1. Go to Windows Credential Manager. This is done in an EN-US Windows by pressing the Windows Key and typing ‘credential’. In other localized Windows variants you need to use the localized term (See comments for some examples).alternatively you can use the shortcut control /name Microsoft.CredentialManager in the run dialog (WIN+R)
  2. Edit the git entry under Windows Credentials, replacing old password with the new one.
