  • We are aware of this issue and are investigating. The workaround right now is to update to version [1.18.4](https://github.com/Microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows/releases/tag/1.18.4.0) of [Git Credential Manager](https://github.com/Microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows) and use the Git command line for the network operations until this can be sorted. – Chad B Jan 30 '19 at 16:55
  • Thanks for the acknowledgment . i have installed GCM 1.18.4 version and also tried to clone from Git command prompt. there im getting error message saying Authentication failed while cloning the repository. – Viswanathan Annamalai Jan 31 '19 at 09:33
  • Im getting totally mad on this clone issue. everytime when it tries to clone , GIT-askpass.exe is trying to get username/password .but dont know why the credential are not returning to askpass.exe. im glueless whether the problem is with my OS or Git-credential manager or TFS server. – Viswanathan Annamalai Jan 31 '19 at 09:37
  • Since this also repros from the command line with the latest GCM, let me direct you to the Git Credential Manager for Windows project for assistance. There is a [template there to help collect the info to help diagnose the issue](https://github.com/Microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows/issues/new/choose). – Chad B Feb 01 '19 at 14:44
