title: Git Pull - Authentication Failure - BitBucket
body: <p>I recently had to reinstall windows. So, I also had to reinstall the command line Git client. I have tried versions 2.12.1 (x86 and 64x) Windows. I've also tried the same version for Mac OS. Since the Windows reinstall, I have not been able to do a Git pull from origin. At first, I thought I was just going crazy and had forgotten something about my credentials, but I've since confirmed over and over that my credentials are correct. The error I am getting is this:</p>
  
  <p><em>git.exe pull --progress -v --no-rebase "origin"
  remote: Invalid username or password. If you log in via a third party service you must ensure you have an account password set in your account profile.
  fatal: Authentication failed for '[INSERT REPO HERE]'
  git did not exit cleanly (exit code 1) (11406 ms @ 24/03/2017 9:59:53 AM)</em></p>
  
  <p>At first, I thought it was a problem with my BitBucket account because I was able to log in to my BitBucket account with the same password. But then, I downloaded and installed GitKraken. GitKraken works differently because it does not use the command line version of Git. GitKraken ask me for my credentials, I entered them, and it was able to pull fine. Also, I'm able to pull in Visual Studio. It's almost as though there is a bug in this particular version of the Git command line tools.</p>
  
  <p>So, there is some problem going on with the Git command line interface. As mentioned, I've tried both the 64bit and 32bit bit versions. I tried this line drop credentials cache:</p>
  
  <p>git config --global --unset credential.helper</p>
  
  <p>But, it made no difference. </p>
  
  <p>Edit: I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the Git client. This time around, I unchecked the option to install the credentials manager in the installer. Now, instead of asking for my username and password, it just asks for my password, and I am able to pull. But, it asks for my password every single time. So, it appears that there is a bug in the credentials manager for the latest version of the Git client. <strong>How can I fix the credentials manager in the Git Client?</strong></p>
