I get the same error, but I'm not using Putty/ssh to connect and don't have 
any keys loaded.

As I understand it (and I'm not sure I do understand it!) there 3 common 
pathways on Windows for git authentication:

   - Putty and SSH keys
   - Windows Credentials (example below)
   - OAuth tokens (in Git Extensions see "Plugins>>Github" menu)
   
I think it is possible to be have all 3 configured at once on a single 
machine, but only using one at any given moment, through means opaque to me.

On my main Leo computer going to "Control Panel\User Accounts\Credential 
Manager >> Windows Credentials >> Generic" shows 2 github entries. I don't 
know how these got setup initially, but I know on my work computer I was 
able to add a github entry manually and that after that I could push. 
Here's where I learned about Credential Manager: 
https://github.com/gitextensions/gitextensions/issues/4916



For my work computer troubles I took the step of resetting my credentials 
and now enter my password every time. Painful but alway works.

Clearing stored git username and passwords 

 

elevate git config --system --unset credential.helper

git config --global --unset credential.helper

 

then for each repo:


git config --unset credential.helper


(*elevate *refers to https://code.kliu.org/misc/elevate/)


And then go to "Control Panel\User Accounts\Credential Manager" >> Windows 
Credentials >> Generic" and remove the GitHub entries. 

After this using "git push" in console asked for credentials -- every time 
though. Still need to figure out how to safely save them for re-use on this 
machine.

So, a bunch info, some of which may even be useful.
