Keep asking for password on Windows. about git-credential-manager HOT 7 CLOSED

It seems like GetCommand and StoreCommand are looking for different credential keys.
When the GetCommand is executed no username is passed as a parameter which results in the get command looking for the key "git:https://hostname/". When the store command is called the username is passed as a parameter and the credentials are stored with the key "git:https://username@hostname/".
This is probably why it can't find the stored credentials, you can easily work around this issue by manually creating a key with only the hostname ("git:https://git.mps.com.br/" in this case) in the Windows Credential Manager and it should work fine until a proper fix is in place.

@artumino thanks for the workaround. I tried many things, until this solved the problem.
Quick note: the manually created credential didn't work at first because I forgot the slash at the end of the URL, probably the string comparison failed.

Got a similar problem, except for me it only re-asks for credentials on force-push.

Hi @beppler; everyone!

Sorry for not responding to this issue sooner. We are aware of the root cause of this problem, as outlaid in #142. (Please watch #142 for future updates on this.)

As I mention in that issue, we're looking at an overhaul of the credential store/recall so that this issue is fixed, and that we can also better support multiple users in other providers too (see #160).

Either adding a credential manually to the Windows Credential Manager without a user name, OR including the username in the remote URL are the best ways to workaround this problem until then. Apologies for the bug!

Closing in favour of #142.
