TortoiseGit keeps asking for my password when I interact with a remote.

I've just (re-)installed Git v2.7.4 and TortoiseGit v2.0 but when I go to credential manager and set these settings as most of the advice I've read suggests:

What am I doing wrong / how can I get this up and running?

Edit - I checked and .gitconfig is writeable and looks like this:

[user] email = [email protected] name = Jon Cage [core] autocrlf = true excludesfile = C:\\Users\\jonc\\Documents\\gitignore_global.txt [credential] [credential] [credential] [credential] [credential] [credential] helper = wincred

Probably this will help. There are multiple approaches (winstore, _netrc file, using Advanced on Git > Credential) - use whatever is working for you, since in Git philosophy there is more than one way to do it.
