What's the server environment you are pushing to ?
Which authentication method does the server you are trying to push to require ?
Do you have permission to push changes (depends on server side implementation) ?

I setup my own server, I try both (basic and digest) auth method. Yes I have permission to push changes. When I use git from cmdline everything is OK.

part of my apache vhost config 

<LocationMatch "^/git/.*/git-receive-pack$">
       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
       AuthType Basic
       AuthName "Git"
       AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/passwd/passwords
       Require valid-user
</LocationMatch> 

apache git config

SetEnv GIT_PROJECT_ROOT /var/www/html/system/web/git
SetEnv GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL
ScriptAlias /git/ /usr/lib/git-core/git-http-backend/

See also bug #339220 and #338048.

The values stored in the input fields don't get used for authentication. I validated this using whireshark. 

The only way to get authentication working is to enter the username and password in the git repository url. Which is very unsecure, as the git repository get's added to commit messages sometimes.
