Using: Windows 10, Github Desktop, Git 2.19.1.windows.1(64bit), VisualStudio VSTS
Background: Managed to add the repository I had in my machine, but I can't do anything with it. I have access to the remote repository, I used gittortoise before, and I could commit just fine.
Procedure: Trying to use Github desktop to fetch, pull, or commit changes to remote.
Error: Authentication Failed (We were unable to authenticate with repository. Please enter your username and password to try again.)
Attempt: Tried to input the username and password I used to login visual studio vsts, it keeps giving me the same error.
Objective: Fetch, pull, commit from github desktop to remote repository.

Actually, the guy above, @bhoeschen, is spot on.
Instead entering your VSTS / Azure DevOPS username and password, rather create a Personal Access Token (PAT), and use that for the password.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-au/azure/devops/organizations/accounts/use-personal-access-tokens-to-authenticate
Condensed instructions from that page:
- Sign in to either your Azure DevOps organization
- From your home page, open your profile. Go to your security details.
- Create a personal access token.
- Name your token. Select a lifespan for your token.
- Select the scopes that this token will authorize for your specific tasks.
- When you're done, make sure to copy the token. You'll use this token as your password.
