Can not input password of my GitHub account when using hexo deploy

Question

I encounter this issue after I type "hexo deploy" in terminal. It asked me my GitHub username and password. The problem is I can only type in my username but not my password.

INFO  Deploying: git
INFO  Clearing .deploy_git folder...
INFO  Copying files from public folder...
On branch master
nothing to commit, working tree clean
Username for 'https://github.com': Yancey2126
Password for 'https://[email protected]':
remote: Invalid username or password.
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/Yancey2126/yancey2126.github.io.git/'
FATAL Something's wrong. Maybe you can find the solution here: http://hexo.io/docs/troubleshooting.html
Error: remote: Invalid username or password.
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/Yancey2126/yancey2126.github.io.git/'

All I can do is to press Return and get an failed identification. Anyone knows what's going on? Thanks a lot~

Answer 1

Check the output of git config credential helper: you might have a password cache, which will provide automatically a password for the user Yancey2126.

For instance, with Git for Windows, you would be using the latest Microsoft Git Credential Manager for Windows.
On mac, you would have the osxkeychain.
