GitLab remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied and fatal Authentication

Unlike this post, I am on macOS.

I have the password configured in GitLab. I also have an SSL key created after the project was made on GitLab.

When I use an existing folder for a new project and follow the steps below, I am prompted to enter my GitLab username and password.

Existing folder

cd existing_folder
git init
git remote add origin https://gitlab.com/sobopla/Geronimod.git
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin master

After the password is entered I get the following error.

remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied
fatal: Authentication failed for ‘https://gitlab.com/myname/myproject’
