I'm trying to clone my webapp in Azure.
When I run git clone https://username@appname.scm.azurewebsites.net:443/appname.git the terminal asks me for my password.
But when I fill in my password, it keeps saying that the authentication has failed.
Even though I changed my password plenty of times in the Portal (Settings -> Set deployment credentials).
Any reason it keeps saying that my authentication has failed?
I had the same problem with my site and it turned out the issue is with the site url: the automatically generated remote url was: https://user@site.scm.azurewebsites.net/site.git
On the other hand the portal showed: https://user@site.scm.azurewebsites.net:443/site.git
After updating the remote url in git with the following command:
git remote set-url azure
https://<user>@<site>.scm.azurewebsites.net/<site>.git
https://<user>@<site>.scm.azurewebsites.net:443/<site>.git
things started working as expected.
The morale of the story: check the deployment url as well as the password.
