authentication - Logon failed, use ctrl+c to cancel basic credential prompt

Question

I'm facing problems while trying to pull/push my code into GitHub repository using cmd prompt for the last 2 days. How can I resolve this issue?

Logon failed, use ctrl+c to cancel basic credential prompt. Username for 'https://github.com': satyendrasingh8 Password for 'https://satyendrasingh8@github.com': remote: Invalid username or password. fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/satyendrasingh8/chatApp.git/'

@Fitz_Hoo is right! I just wanted to give a more detail explanation that fix my issue. Essentially GitHub deprecated their password authentication recently (you can read more by clicking here)

Now instead of adding your username/email and password, you will login with your browser. The image below is the new interface. As Fitz_hoo mention, you must update your git to see the new changes!

If you are using window, you can simply use this command below to update your git:
