You have to update it in your Credential Manager.

Go to Control Panel > User Accounts > Credential Manager > Windows Credentials. You will see Git credentials in the list (e.g. git:https://). Click on it, update the password, and execute git pull/push command from your Git bash and it won't throw any more error messages.

Answer 5

In case Git Credential Manager for Windows is used (which current versions usually do):

git credential-manager clear

This was added mid-2016. To check if credential manager is used:

git config --global credential.helper
→ manager
