1- Tools -> Options -> Authentication

2- Remove all Visual Studio (or DevOps). Click Ok.

3- Close SouceTree completely. I closed Visual Studio as well, just in case !

4- Open SourceTree, go again to Tools -> Options -> Authentication.

5- Enter Host URL as follows: https://dev.azure.com/YourOrgName

6- Prepare your new Personal Access Token, then click “Refresh Personal Access Token” button. Ensure you have this token saved somewhere TEMPORARILY because we will need it.

7- Enter your email as username, and the just generated PAT as password.

It will tell you it failed, do not worry it did not !

8- Click Ok then Close SourceTree Completely.

9- Remove the password cache file called “passwd” in “C:Users{YOUR_USER_NAME}AppDataLocalAtlassianSourceTree”.

13- Fetch your repos, it should work now. Congratulations !

14- Do not forget to remove the TEMPORARILY saved token (if you saved it somewhere) which can be stolen and used to access your account. I mean that copy-pasted token.
