I'm using Git For Windows 2.40.1 on Windows 10 to access a repository on Azure DevOps. It was working fine on Friday, today it's broken.

Any attempt to access the repo launches the Git Credential Manager which prompts me to login, then displays a screen titled "more Information Required", and when I press "Next" it displays another screen with what looks like an embedded browser control telling me my browser is unsupported or out-of-date.

I have the latest Firefox, Chrome and Edge installed and Windows is up-to-date with all updates.

Windows Credential Manager appears to be a component bundled into Git For Windows. There is a bug on their issue tracker stating this issue is fixed

https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager/issues/1226

But I've tried versions 2.40.1, 2.40.0 and 2.39.2 of Git For Windows and see the same error in every case.

Does anyone know what is going wrong here?

UPDATE

Tried updating to version 2.1.1 using dotnet tool update -g git-credential-manager. That reported that it installed, but didn't seem to replace the active version, so that's useless.

Also tried manually installing the standalone version from here

https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager/releases/tag/v2.0.935

...which according to their documentation is supposed to "forcibly override the version of GCM that is bundled with Git for Windows"

Except that it doesn't

I don't know why it decided to stop working all by itself, and none of the online documentation was remotely useful to fix the problem. I was however able to fix it by running git-credential-manager configure

After which everything was working fine again.

  • I am having the same issue. How do I install git-credential-manager so that i can use it in the command line? I tried installing the standalone version that you linked in your question but that does not work. – Martijn van den Bergh May 25 '23 at 07:32
  • I can use `git credential-manager configure` and i get the same output in mijn command line as you. But the issue remains the same unfortunately. – Martijn van den Bergh May 25 '23 at 07:40
  • I fixed it. What it did was go to my Azure DevOps and signed out. Then I signed back in and now it worked. I had to do the same steps in Azure DevOps but because i did it in a modern browser i did not get the 'unsupported browser' message. So i could finalize the procedure. – Martijn van den Bergh May 25 '23 at 08:20
