What are the reasons this could be failing?

Answer 1

You can enable "Use credential helper" in Preferences - Version Control - Git

Answer 2

If someone is facing this issue in Android Studio BumbleBee, Do the following thing. Hopefully it will solve your problem

Preference -> Git -> Check Use credential helper if not checked

Answer 3

On Android Studio "ChipMunk" got this problem

• File -> Settings -> Version Control -> Git -> Use credential helper (set check) -> push Apply button

Resolved the issue, PS : I use token for access

Answer 4

The error originates from the Android Studio canary. You can either update your Android Studio or you can use the inbuilt terminal below and type:

$ git pull

Answer 5

If anyone has this problem in Android Studio BumbleBee just open the android studio terminal and type

git pull

and enter the git password.

Now, you can push and pull in version control

Answer 6

Finally, this worked for me:

1. Open Terminal in Android Studio. Hit this command:

    git config credential.helper store

It will ask for a password, enter your password.

2. Enable "Use Credential Helper" in Settings -> Version Control -> Git.

After these 2 steps, you will be able to Pull, Push, Commit.

For anyone using Chipmunk version, here are the steps I used to fix this issue:

1. Upgrade git to latest version

Use these steps to git over HTTPS not SSH:

You'll be requested the credentials username/token or pass. Check this in Preferences > GIT > Use Credential Helper

Just restart Android Studio.

I ran into the same issue today. I was logging in with social login and didn't have a password.

Get an App Password on Bitbucket,

• Setting -> Personal Settings -> Add Password -> Create App Password
• Copy Password

Then on Android Studio

• $git pull on Android Studio's Terminal section (or another terminal like macOS terminal)
• It will ask you for the password, enter the password you copied before
• Check Use Credential Helper in Preferences -> Version Control -> Git

I also had this problem with Bitbucket repository.

My solution is:

1. "Use credential helper" in Preferences -> Version Control -> Git
2. Go to Bitbucket: Account -> Personal Settings -> App passwords. Create app password.

Then use your generated app password instead of account password. Now plugin works well.
