title: Unable to clone repository from Gitlab: Permission denied, please try again
body: <p>I'm trying to clone an empty repository from my Gitlab account. I simply use the address shown on my Gitlab repository page under <code>SSH</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git@gitlab.xxx.com:USERNAME/project-name.git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/jysiB.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/jysiB.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>Then simply try this in an empty folder, but it keeps telling me permission denided, asking for retry:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git clone git@gitlab.xxx.com:USERNAME/project-name.git
  Cloning into 'project-name'...
  git@gitlab.xxx.com's password:
  Permission denied, please try again.
  git@gitlab.xxx.com's password:
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and when I choose the <code>https</code> address for clone, this is the message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied
  fatal: Authentication failed for ....
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am able to login to <code>Gitlab</code> homepage with that password, so I don't know what is really wrong. </p>
  
  <p>What is wrong? How to fix it?</p>
