Check the information in registry : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VSCommon\Keychain\Accounts and delete the related keys under Accounts section.

Answer 4

When I came accross this issue none of the provided answers solved this problem or if it did I didn't like recreating the project. The way I ended up solving the issue:

1. Clicking on the "Connect to Team Projects button" (The plug next to the home button in the Team Explorer tab)
2. Right click the project you are getting this issue on.
3. Click Connect.

I guess the "Remember me" cookie timed out but gave me a generic response for trying to push or pull any code.

Answer 5

I tried all of the suggestions here. None worked. This could be my particular situation where I connect some VS instances to our company TFS and some instances to my private TFS.

The only way to solve it for me is to close all VS instances and start a new instance.

Oddly enough, connecting to the internal TFS is never a problem. Connecting to *.visualstudio.com sometimes raises this issue.

Answer 6

For me the error came after changing my password for my AD account.

I had to remove the line from credential manager (which contained the previous password.)

Then it worked again.
