Git version: 2.25.1
Operating system: linux ubuntu, gitea running locally in docker
Database (use [x]):
- PostgreSQL

Can you reproduce the bug at https://try.gitea.io:
- Yes (provide example URL)
- No It didn't work for me, maybe it's a different version?
Log gist:

Description

This bug has come up many times, e.g. #5920, and seems to be resolved, but it still exists (At least for me).

GITEA: create organization
GITEA: create repo within that organization; I am now an "Owner" of that org and repo
LOCAL: create repo with lfs support: git init; git lfs install
LOCAL: setup lfs: git lfs track '*.bin'; git add .gitattributes
LOCAL: create binary file: echo foo > foo.bin; git add foo.bin
LOCAL: commit: git commit -m 'initialize'
LOCAL: git remote add origin http://example.com:1234/foo/bar.git; git push -u origin master

Asks for username and password, then asks again, and again, etc. Doesn't push.

If I add myself as a "Collaborator" of the repo, then it starts working. Surely this is not necessary, because I am already an "Owner"?

UPDATE: I'm not sure if this is a bug or not after all.

When doing git push -u origin master, it asks for username/password THREE times. Then it succeeds.

Then when I do git push, it asks for username/password TWO times. Then it succeeds.

I'm not making typos. What is the reason?

Maybe because git prompt you once and git lfs prompt another ? git and git lfs don't share the secrets?

@lunny That's an interesting theory, it makes sense!

I'll close, and if anyone else has this problem we can discuss. Thanks.
