'git push heroku master' is still asking for authentication

Question

I have executed:

$ heroku login

But when I try to push, I\'m still asked for authentication:

$ git push heroku master
Usern         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem (git couldn't authenticate). It happend that GIT wants to read auth data from %HOME%/_netrc file and on Windows you don't have this variable (only %USERPROFILE% and %HOMEDRIVE% + %HOMEPATH%)

i set HOME to %USERPROFILE% (the place where heroku saved _netrc file) and GIT started working

Answer 2

Username: the email you used for registering to Heroku
Password: the API key which Heroku provides you with, in your Account Settings on Heroku website

This worked for me

Answer 3

If someone is still struggling with this, this answer helped me a lot Use Heroku API key.

First, as @Raziza O mentioned in a comment, to get heroku API key

https://dashboard.heroku.com/account. Roll down the screen and hit the reveal button.

Then, just run git push https://heroku:$HEROKU_API_KEY@git.heroku.com/$HEROKU_APP_NAME.git HEAD:master

Answer 4

You have probably logged into heroku in two terminals, and if you try to run a command on first terminal, it will report such error, as new authentication was made in the second terminal.

Either login again with heroku login and run commands in that terminal, or run commands in that second window (if you have it still open).

Answer 5

I got around this by logging in with the following :

username : email used to register to heroku (Also been able to leave this field blank)

password : heroku auth token (API Key)

where the auth token can be retrieved by $ heroku auth:token or via the Account Settings in Heroku

Answer 6

First find the _netrc file that is created by heroku. In windows it can be found in C:\Users\User Name\_netrc.

That file contains credentials for git.heroku.com

machine git.heroku.com
     login abcd123@gmail.com
     password xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Use that login and password when ask for authentication after $ git push heroku master command
