Gitlab clone project: authentication failed

Question

I tried to simply clone a Gitlab project jusing both HTTPS and SSH and they both don't work and print back an atuhentication failed message.

When trying with https address:

git clone https://gitlab.com/project.aa/project.git

Cloning into 'frontend'...
remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://gitlab.com/project.aa/project.git'

And with my SSH key that's the message I get:

Cloning into 'frontend'...
[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

What can I do?

Try log-out and login with the same credentials that you're trying to use for cloning the repository. If the problem persists: In Windows, Search for Credential Manager. In that choose Windows manager. Select your Gitlab credentials and modify it.
