This issue is being tracked in a couple of places:

Visual studio 2017 with bitbucket, terminal prompts disabled

I posted the following as a comment on the SO link:

I discovered that simply grabbing the AzureDevOps.Authentication.dll assembly from the Git Credential Manager for Windows v1.18.2 zip file and dropping it into the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\<<<VSEdition>>>\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer\Git\mingw32\libexec\git-core folder allowed me to clone a Dev.Azure.com repo.

HTH.
