1. Goto settings
2. App password

Answer 3

I had the same issue, I found an answer that worked for me here: https://github.com/github/VisualStudio/issues/949

Below are the steps mentioned to fix: It seems that the bundled Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows/ in VIsual Studio 2017 is not the latest release. Downloading the latest release and putting it on top of the files in Visual Studio 2017 worked for me.

1. download the zip file gcmw-v1.17.0.zip from https://github.com/Microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows/releases/tag/v1.17.0
2. navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer\Git\mingw32\libexec\ (or wherever your 'missing' git-askpass.exe resides).
3. make a copy of the git-core folder and rename it backup or something like that
4. put the files from the zip file on top of the contents of your new git-core folder and overwrite where prompted

Answer 4

I have added my password to remote URL. (Team Explorer > Repository Settings > Remotes) https://username:[e-mail]/username/myproject.git. After that my problem has solved.
