Is this your account or account of your organization? – Shamrai Aleksander Feb 10 '20 at 10:36

I'm working for an organization. I have access to the repo and it is provided by organization. Earlier in another system I used to clone code. Today I'm trying clone in another machine and faced mentioned issue. – Chandra sekhar Feb 10 '20 at 11:53

Update:
Op verified after rebooted the system, it started working again. Everything went back to the track.
According to your description "Earlier in another system I used to clone code." and error message in the screenshot.
This should be a client related issue. Mainly caused by the credentials have been cached by Credential Manager. You should remove the credentials for https://microsoftit.visualstudio.com/ which have been stored in Credential Manager.
Besides, just as Shamrai Aleksander mentioned in the comment, you could also give a try with other option in similar issue here: Git failed with a > fatal error. could not read Username for
Managed to fix this issue by deleting a this file: "C:\Users(profile)\AppData\Local\GitCredentialManager\tenant.cache". On the next retry, a GIT entry showed up in my Windows Credentials generic list.
