Body

I’m trying to do a push request but for some reason when it asks for my password it’s either not letting me see it or it’s not typing it at all and I even reset my password to a fairly easy to remember password.

Double-check that you're entering the correct password. Since you mentioned resetting it to an easy-to-remember one, make sure you're typing it correctly

Hi @jaydezi-code ,

When typing the password in git bash it doesn't show any characters, this is the standard behavior, also the password depends on whether you are doing git operations with HTTPS or SSH. For HTTPS you have to create a Personal Access Token (with the repo scopes) and use it as password while with SSH the password is the one set when generating the ssh key.

Here's the documentation about generating a PAT and a SSH key:

• Creating a personal access token (classic)
• Generating a new SSH key and adding it to the ssh-agent

hi @jaydezi-code, when u type your password in the terminal, it usually doesn't show anything to keep it secure. Just type your password and press Enter. If it’s still not working, double-check that you’ve copied the new password correctly :>
