desktop: Fetch is failing and causing authentication issues

Everytime I click on ‘Fetch Origin’, it displays an error ‘Authentication failed…’. There is no issue with authentication because I’m able to do commits etc. At the time of commit, the origin fetching happens on its own which never gives any error.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
