I’m guessing it’s asking for `git` user’s password on the server that’s running Gitea. If you have shell access to the server, kindly try that password.

If it works, then it’s not the expected behavior. The contents of `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` in `git`'s home directory should give more clues.

list current keys on system `ls -al ~/.ssh`

look for any of below and choose one

- _id\_rsa.pub_
- _id\_ecdsa.pub_
- _id\_ed25519.pub_

run `cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub`  
copy the output except the user@system

then goto [Sign In - Gitea: Git with a cup of tea](https://gitea.com/user/settings/keys)  
click add key  
choose a title and paste the public key you copied earler

make sure you added the remote origin as ssh

now `git push -u origin master`
