Local git Authentication fail

Question

I tried to clone Local git from Azure portal to my machine, then it asks for username and password. I fill-in the information that Azure provides: "Application scope credentials are auto-generated and provide access only to this specific app or deployment slot. These credentials can be used with FTPS, Local Git and WebDeploy."

but it returns error:

Is there any missing in the setting that I don't know? How can I solve this problem?

Thank you!

Answer 1

The answer is not really an answer. I have the same issue: Copy/pasting the provided credentials results in "Authentication failed" as the original poster described above. Why does that happen and how can it be fixed?

Thanks for reaching here! You can use either user-scope credentials or application-scope credentials.

As its mentioned below please ensure you are using correct format of credentials and you have required access, if using App-level credentials must be contributor or higher.

Since user-scope credentials are linked to the user and not a specific resource, the username must be in this format: <app-name>\<user-name> to direct the sign-in action to the right app endpoint.

The Application Scope's username is generated in this format: <app-name>\$<user-name>. But, as it turns out, you must use the second half starting from $ i.e. $<user-name> as your local git's username.
