Git for Windows ships with the default credential helper as Git
Credential Manager Core, which will try to log in to some of the most
popular services with a native token.

However, this is not a part of core Git.  Folks who would like to use
this credential manager are welcome to do so, in which case it will work
for some services, but there's no way to automatically do this in the
general case, because it isn't guaranteed that a Git server provides an
automatic way to get a token.  For example, my personal Git server uses
only Kerberos authentication and doesn't issue tokens of any sort.
