Answer 1

Had the same problem with TortoiseGit / Windows subsystem for Linux / GitBash. The solution is to use authentication via an agent (key) instead of password.

For TortoiseGit:

• run Pageant
• add your key
• enter password
• TortoiseGit menu -> submodule update ...

(without pageant git clone it asks for password and works as intended, but git update fails with error)

For WS4L:

$ eval `ssh-agent -s`
$ chmod 600 /path/to/key
$ ssh-add /path/to/key

proceed with git submodule update
