Authentication failure on Git (Closed)

Just created a git and when following the command line instructions I keep getting an authentication failure.

Hello,
can you describe in more detail exactly when the authentication error occurs?

How did you generate the SSH key?

Thank you in advance for your support.

I think that was the problem, I hadn’t generated a public key yet.

I’m working on it & think I’m starting to figure it out.

Hello.

we found and fixed an inaccuracy in your user configuration on the git.opendesktop.org host. Please try again with username / password. An ssh key is not necessary, but recommended.
