I found a docker forum discussion that solved my error.
Edit ~/.docker/config.json and either delete or rename the credsStore entry:
Broken:
"credsStore": ...
Works:
"credStore": ...
Explanation:
The property credsStore specifies an external binary to serve as the default credential store. When this property is set, docker login will attempt to store credentials in the binary specified by docker-credential-<value> which is visible on $PATH. If this property is not set, credentials will be stored in the auths property of the config.
More information on credStore can be found in the Docker reference.
Thanks goes to @Javier Buzzi and @valk for the explanation.
