Hi @benjamincharity - The underlying encryption engine outputs that message when it can't properly decrypt the content. The message is a bit misleading, though it basically means that your password was not correct and the HMAC authentication on the data was not matched (your Git credentials were not retrievable in this case).

Could you possibly retry with a VERY simple password? Like "abc" or something? Could it be possible that you miss-typed the password due to it being very complicated or using special chars?

Interesting. That actually does make sense.. I could have easily mistyped it which would be why it seemed to work when I ctrl+c'd and tried again. Just a confusing error message.

Thanks for the clarity! (and the useful project!)

@benjamincharity No problem! The message is unclear, and we're working to formulate better failure messages.
