Save GIT Credentials Using GIT Credential Manager for Windows - Doesn't Work

Question

I would like my SSH passwords to be remembered automatically when running git pull / push on windows.

I installed Microsoft - git Credential Manager for Windows

Git credential manager not working

Environment

• git version 2.6.2.windows.1 is downloaded here https://git-scm.com/download/win
• Openssh_3.8.1p1
• https://github.com/Microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows

Answer 1

There is no magic, as the credential helper is for storing https credentials, not ssh passphrase for private keys.

Try the ssh agent as described in Working with SSH keyword phrases . "
Please note that ssh asks for your password (not a passphrase), which may also be due to the fact that your ssh public key is not correctly registered on the remote site (and it returns to the user / password authentication method)
