How to fix git error "Failed to enumerate credentials. [0x520]"

I'm using git over ssh on a remote machine that is running Windows 10. When I try to do a git pull, I get the error message in the title after entering my credentials.

Solution

  • Fixed by installing the latest version of git credential manager on chocolatey (not sure if this is necessary) and switching my git credential store to dpapi.

    See https://github.com/GitCredentialManager/git-credential-manager/blob/main/docs/credstores.md#dpapi-protected-files for instructions on how to do so.
