Avoid Git tagging in maven release

Question

Is there any way to avoid tagging of existing repo during a maven release. Below is the flow we have

1. execute command mvn release:prepare on the pom
2. maven asks for the release version
3. maven asks for the scm tag name
4. maven asks for the new development snapshot version

Once all these information is given, my build is failing trying to execute the below command

git push git@mygitaddress.git tagName

Always returns an error of network disconnect Received disconnect from xx.xxx.x.xx port 22:2: Too many authentication failures for git

Below is the build configuration on my maven script

 <build>
        <sourceDirectory>src/main/scala</sourceDirectory>
        <testSourceDirectory>src/test/scala</testSourceDirectory>

                </dependencies>
            </plugin>

    </build>

Any idea how I can skip the tagging part and just release the maven artifact? For tagging I have a different process anyways.
