Answer 1

I think it's too late, But if some windows user is having the issue. Here is the working solution. I have updated my credentials on gitlab. Git bash stores credentials in the Windows Vault using Generic Credentials in the 'Control Panel > User Accounts > Credential Manager'. After updating my password to match the current value I was able to 'git push'.

Answer 2

First generate pair of ssh-key on your local git bash

Open Git bash Terminal and type this

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -C "youremailaddress"

Then press enter and enter

then do cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa

and copy the contents of the id_rsa.pub file to your clipboard and go to your gitlab profile settings >> ssh key and paste this key and done

now is 2021 year, the most possible reason is:

Gitlab not allow password access, but recommend use: access token.

• how to use Gitlab access token?
  • Core Logic:
    • create token: in gitlab Profile->Settings->Access Tokens->input name, select all, create personal access token
    • use access token instead of git password: when git push, (in popup window) need input access token (into password field), NOT use git password
  • Detailed steps: please refer JavAlex's answer in another post (I have updated my answer into it)
