When I try to clone our repository, I'm always getting

We were unable to authenticate with "our repo" Please enter your username and password to try again

I have correct credentials, but I can't clone our repo using GitHub Desktop (which I want to use)

I was able to clone using GitKraken, GitBash, and SourceTree but not on GitHub Desktop.

I tried following the answer here Github Desktop Authentication Failed but it still didn't worked.

Check first, if your are on Windows, if you have credentials stored in the Windows Credential Manager for github.com, as in here.

By removing them, the next push from GitHub Desktop should prompt you to enter those credentials again. See then if the issue persists.

  • hmm I can't even clone the repository, I have credentials stored for github when I try to remove it, still the same.. – JC Borlagdan Apr 26 '19 at 03:27
  • as specified in the description, "I was able to clone using GitKraken, GitBash, and SourceTree but not on GitHub Desktop" – JC Borlagdan Apr 26 '19 at 04:56
  • @JCBorlagdan Right so the GitHub Desktop client must cache its credentials elsewhere... – VonC Apr 26 '19 at 04:57
