I think vs2026 cut the devops auth‑link u rely on… re‑signin once n delete the lone “git:dev.azure.com” in windows creds. If it still fails, reset gcm in vs account settings so the chain rebuilds.
visual studio 2026 cannot push to Azure DevOps. authorization failed

Upgraded to Visual Studio 2026. I no longer can push new code to Azure DevOps. Message is "authorization failed."

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.
After upgrading to Visual Studio 2026, your cached credentials or tokens may no longer be valid and leading to “authorization failed” error when pushing to Azure DevOps.
To fix this, sign out and back in inside VS: In Team Explorer (or Git =>Manage Connections), sign out of all Azure DevOps/Azure AD accounts and sign back in, making sure you pick your actual UPN and complete any MFA prompts.
On Windows, open Credential Manager => Windows Credentials =>delete any “git:https://dev.azure.com/…” or “VSS…” entries.
In VS go to Git Settings =>Global Settings =>Clear Credential Cache.
If you push over HTTPS, generate a new Personal Access Token (PAT) in Azure DevOps (scopes: Code [read & write]). Then update your repo’s remote URL or re-enter credentials when prompted.
Hope this helps!
