Deploying Node.js using Azure CLI and Git

I am trying to get my head around Node.js and using it for building bots. There's a long convoluted reason why I need to do this, the TLDR version is I need it for university.

Anyway, I have found a book online, it's called "Building Bots with Node.js" by Packt publishing. I am working through the book, and I have got to a section where I am supposed to Deploy my app to azure. The book says to do the following, in order:

1. Create a site with azure site create --git (sitename)
2. Run git add .
3. Run git commit -m "TwilioNodeBot first commit
4. Run git push azure master

Now, steps 1-3 worked fine. But when I get to step 4, I get a Windows pop-up asking me to enter credentials for my site. I have tried everything I can think of, but no matter what I enter I get the following error:

fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://username@sitename.scm.azurewebsites.net/sitename.git/'

Now, the thing is, it says the following in the book:

"After you type these commands, if you've never set up git/FTP deployment credentials for your Azure subscription, you'll also be prompted to create them. You can also enter these credentials on the Azure Portal."

I was never asked to create credentials. I did a bit of web searching and found out how to go into my portal and view my publishing profile, and get the username/password out of there. But when I do enter this information it doesn't work. I even tried resetting my credentials, but this didn't work either.

There's no information in the book about what to do here, and I cannot contact the author as there is no contact info.

Any ideas? What am I supposed to use for my publishing credentials?
