Logon failed, use Ctrl + C to cancel basic credential prompt - authentication

I'm facing problems while trying to pull/push my code into a GitHub repository using the cmd prompt for the last two days. How can I resolve this issue?
Logon failed, use Ctrl + C to cancel basic credential prompt. Username for 'https://github.com': satyendrasingh8 Password for 'https://satyendrasingh8#github.com': remote: Invalid username or password. fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/satyendrasingh8/chatApp.git/'

Fitz_Hoo is right! I just wanted to give a more detailed explanation that fix my issue. Essentially GitHub deprecated their password authentication recently (you can read more by clicking here).
Now instead of adding your username/email and password, you will login with your browser. The image below is the new interface. As Fitz_hoo mentions, you must update your Git to see the new changes!
If you are using Windows, you can simply use this command below to update your Git:
git update-git-for-windows

I fixed the problem just simply by upgrading my client Git Bash to the latest version!
When I encountered the problem, I received an email from a GitHub official, who told me the reason was mainly the Git version was incompatible:
GitHub has changed how users authenticate when using Git for Windows, and now requires the use of a web browser to authenticate to GitHub. To be able to login via web browser, users need to update to the latest version of Git for Windows. You can download the latest version at:
https://gitforwindows.org/

One reason for this message could be that the remote branch you were trying to pull was already deleted.

Delete the GitHub entry from Credential Manager: Control Panel → User Accounts → Credential Manager.
Then push the code again.

For me, the problem was that instead of my username I was trying to login with my email.

I received an email from GitHub telling me
We recently updated the format of our API authentication tokens,
providing additional security benefits to all our customers. In order
to benefit from this new format, please regenerate your personal
access token
I regenerated my personal access token (PAT) and was then unable to log in from command line on Windows 10 when I tried something like git pull.
A window would pop up, inviting me to enter 'username or email' and password. I tried various combinations, using the PAT, as mentioned in the GitHub documentation, and the actual password, but every time I received:
Logon failed, use ctrl+c to cancel basic credential prompt
Thanks to the answers from Fitz_Hoo and ousecTic, I updated my Git install with the command provided by ousecTic, and the authentication process was then completely different.
You can opt to use a PAT, but when you paste it in, no characters at all are shown, so just hit Enter.

In my case, I had this issue in relation to the federated authentication to AWS CodeCommit. The fix was to upgrade git to +v2.30.z (i.e. 2.35.3) and disable interactive prompt (docs):
git config --global credential.interactive false
A global configuration in ~/.gitconfig would look like:
[credential]
interactive = false
A AWS CodeCommit specific configuration, would look like (in ~/.gitconfig):
[credential "https://git-codecommit.us-east-1.amazonaws.com"]
interactive = false

here is the solution which works for me, uninstall Git from Machine after that install new version of it and sign in via web

Able to authenticate with SSH with Github but somehow says "key is already in use"?

I have two ssh keys i've created, first one for my personal use and
the second one which I just created for work/school.
When I log into using git CLI using SSH with the second SSH key, it says
that i have successfully logged in like below
$ winpty gh auth login
? What account do you want to log into? GitHub.com
? You're already logged into github.com. Do you want to re-authenticate? Yes
? What is your preferred protocol for Git operations? SSH
? Upload your SSH public key to your GitHub account? C:\Users\dykim\.ssh\id_rsa.
pub
? Title for your SSH key: (GitHub CLI) second-key
? Title for your SSH key: future_proof
? How would you like to authenticate GitHub CLI? Login with a web browser
! First copy your one-time code: 0B1D-6370
Press Enter to open github.com in your browser...
✓ Authentication complete.
- gh config set -h github.com git_protocol ssh
✓ Configured git protocol
HTTP 422: Validation Failed (https://api.github.com/user/keys)
key is already in use
so somehow there isn't a problem to authenticating.
But I am worried that this will somehow pop up later and be a problem later when I am
working on my future projects for work.
What can I do to avoid this issue?
That seems similar to a pending reported issue #5299: "Spurious auth error when SSH key is already registered on account"
Steps to reproduce the behavior
Run gh auth login and select an SSH key that is already registered with the account
Get the above error, even though the key will work correctly
Expected vs actual behavior
I think there are a couple of ways that the handling of already registered keys could be improved:
Given the CLI app is granted full permission over the user's registered SSH keys, it could presumably list the already registered ones first and only attempt to register a new key if it wasn't already registered.
Then the error would only occur if the key was registered on a different account (or you uploaded it via the web browser while also attempting to register the CLI app, which would be an odd thing to do)
Customise the error message when this step fails to say something like "key already in use (Note: this error is expected if this SSH key was already registered on your account)"

Unable to Paste a PAT from GitHub to Cloud9 Ruby on Rails

I am trying to paste a Personal Access Token that I created in GitHub into the command line of a Ruby on Rails program I'm developing on Cloud9. I put in my GitHub username, and when I try to put in the PAT under password, it won't paste. I've tried with 2 different apps, but can't complete the git push. As a result I can't deploy my app to production.
I'm new at RnR, so have been learning using https://www.railstutorial.org/ following these instructions. I would appreciate any help I could get.
[website (main)]$ git remote add origin https://github.com/mhartl/hello_app.git
[website (main)]$ git branch -M main
[website (main)]$ git push -u origin main
After running the third command you will be prompted to enter your username and password. The username is simply your GitHub username, but the password is not your GitHub password; instead, the “password” must be a personal access token which you can create by following the instructions in the GitHub article “Creating a personal access token” I suggest selecting “No expiration” for the token expiration, and also be sure to select “repo” as the scope of the token so that it works at the command line. Once you’ve created and saved the personal access token, paste it in at the command line when prompted for a password to complete the git push
Check if it actually won't paste, meaning: when you paste a password, often it is not displayed at all: you get the impression the paste failed because nothing moved.
But do try, just after pasting, to click enter and the PAT should be taken into account, even if it remains "invisible".
Check also your git config --global credential.helper: a caching mechanism can help you not entering the PAT on each clone/push/pull operation.
At least, for instance, git config --global credential.helper "cache --timeout=86400"
You can see what is cached with:
printf "host=github.com\nprotocol=https"|git-credential-cache get
You can remove it with
printf "host=github.com\nprotocol=https\nusername=you"|git-credential-cache erase
You can store the new PAT with
printf "host=github.com\nprotocol=https\nusername=you\npassword=yourPAT"|git-credential-cache store

ERROR: (gcloud.compute.ssh) Could not fetch resource: - Insufficient Permission

I am having trouble working through the Compute Engine Quickstart: Build a to-do app with a MongoDB tutorial. (edit: I am running the tutorial from within the compute engine console; i.e. https://console.cloud.google.com/compute/instances?project=&tutorial=compute_quickstart)

**ERROR: (gcloud.compute.ssh) Could not fetch resource:
- Insufficient Permission**
I had run through this stage of the tutorial on a previous occasion with no problems.
I am working from a Windows 10 PC with the google-cloud-sdk installed. I am using google chrome. I have tried in both regular and incognito modes.
Any help or advice greatfully received!

It looks like the attempt to SSH is recognising the instance in your project, but the user doesn't have the required permissions to access the machine.
Have you tried running:
gcloud auth login
and completing the web-based authorization to ensure you are attempting to access the machine as the correct (authenticated) user? This process ensures the Cloud SDK you are running inherits the permissions of the user specified in the web-based authorisation. See here for more information on this.
It's also worth adding the link to the tutorial you are following to your question.
Besides the accepted answer, be sure you are in the correct gcloud project
gcloud projects list
Then
gcloud config set project <your-project>
I just ran into this for yet another reason. Google has always had poor handling of multi-user auth conflicts with their business products. Whatever you sign into a clean chrome session with 'first' gets a 'special', invisible role. I've noticed with gsuite that I get 'forced' into that first user when I try to access the admin panel, and the only way to escape is to make sure that whatever google user I use for the gsuite admin is 'first', or open an incognito window. I've seen this bug for years, can't believe it still exists.
Anyways, I ran into a similar issue. Somehow I was the wrong google user, so the link I got when copy/pasting out of 'connect with gcloud command' was implying wrong google user. Only noticed later when I just gave up and used the terminal that I was not my normal user... So, might look into that.

GitKraken Unrecognized allowed types:8

I'm using GitKraken 1.8.0 on windows 10 machine to connect TFS 2015 and when I try to do (Push, Pull, Fetch) I always get toast message error says
Unrecognized allowed types:8
however, I can do these operations successfully using the CLI or Source Tree.
What is the cause of this issue!? and how to overcome that!?
First disconnected and reconnected your TFS account and try again. Also try to clear TFS cache.
Try to directly use Visual Studio with GIT when connecting TFS2015. If this also can work and since you can do the operations successfully using the CLI or Source Tree ,then the issue should related to GitKraken.
To use Gitkraken connect other remote Git repo such as the one hosted on GitHub. If you still got the same error. You may need to give a try with reinstall GitKraken.
It turned out that TFS on a different domain and connecting my computer to this domain solved the problem and everything is working fine now.
The error message doesn't say much but I guess that Unrecognized allowed types:8 error message is some sort of authentication error using the username in [domain\username] format isn't working in this case
Generate GitKraken key, the step is Preference -> Authentication, choose General tab, and press Generate new Private/Public key "Generate" button.
Copy your gitkraken_rsa.pub key by press copy icon button. (SSH Public key item)
Paste your key into TFS server.
Copy your project SSH path from TFS to your Gitkraken Remote push/pull path and be careful there is no unnecessary ".git" word behind your path, if there is, delete it.
Try to Git Fetch/Pull/Push by GitKraken!
I know this is very old thread, but in case any of the mentioned solutions doesn't work for future readers, especially if you are NOT using any kind of integrations inside GitKraken, go to Credential Manager (Windows users) and under "Windows Credentials" -> "Generic Credentials" try to find your "git:" that is causing this issue and update the password to correct one for your git credentials.

IntelliJ PAM Authentication Failure on CVS Update after updating password

When I'm forced to change my Windows AD account password IntelliJ is no longer able to perform any CVS action (e.g. update) on any checked out class files.
Right-click on class file->CVS->Update
Then the Messages console appears with "Error: Authentication failed. Response from server was: PAM authenticate error: Authentication failure"
I manage to workaround this by clearing the .cvspass file referenced under Settings->Version Control->CVS. It doesn't feel like a very elegant solution. I would have expected a prompt of some sort to re-enter my new password.
Is this the only way to getting cvs to work after updating the password?
I did find a compromise (somewhat). No need to delete the entire .cvspass file. I just open it and remove the line that has the repo that's giving me problems at the time.
