wincred was the legacy credential storage on Windows. It has been replaced by GCM (Git Credential Manager), and after Git 2.38.1, is called manager (no longer "manager-core") If you have upgraded Git for Windows, you can safely change your credential helper to manager.

To update your credentials, go to Control Panel → Credential Manager → Generic Credentials. Find the credentials related to your Git account and edit them to use the updated password.

Note that to use the Windows Credential Manager for Git you need to configure the credential helper like so:
git config --global credential.helper wincred
If you have multiple GitHub accounts that you use for different repositories, then you should configure credentials to use the full repository path (rather than just the domain, which is the default):
git config --global credential.useHttpPath true
After selecting "Manager" and selecting to sign in with my Browser you get this.
Enter your Email and Github password you used to create your github account.
Enter your verification Code and press Verify. Then again select "manager" if the credential manager pops up.
