It worked, but I had troubles finding credentials manager in my localized version of windows. If someone looks for it, it's about this one https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026814/windows-accessing-credential-manager – Anton Kukoba Aug 10 '20 at 09:29

You need to store your password once again :

git config --unset credential.helper

Then try to push again

If you need more informations about this command, check the git's manual :

git help credentials

Good luck
