# How to fix git "fatal: Authentication failed" issue after password change?

## Problem:

I have the local git repository which is set up to track the remote git repository. I have changed the password of the remote git service. Then trying to push the change from local to the remote repository. I got the below issue.

> fatal: Authentication failed for '[https://git.example.com/test.git](https://git.example.com/test.git)

## Solution:

You have to update the remote repository password details in the credentials manager.

* Search for "Credential Manager" in the start menu and open.

* Click "Windows Credentials"

If you try the git command again, it should work without any issues.
