Change remote repository credentials (authenticati

Question

I recently changed my Bitbucket password for security reasons. However, IntelliJ didn't update my repository to the new credentials, so it stops me from pulling/pushing anything to my repository. I am not using any plugins for this, just the integrated VCS operations inside the IDE.

Every time I pull/push, this pops out:

fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://momothereal:[e-mail]/team/repo.git/

Where xxxxxxxxxxxx is my old password. I think changing this remote address with the correct password would fix it, though I cannot find where to do so.

Answer 1

For Mac users this could also be helpful:

Credentials are stored in Keychain Access.app. You can just change them there.

Answer 2

After trying several answers, I was finally able to solve this issue (on window 10),

>git fetch
remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied
fatal: Authentication failed for 'http://gitlab.abc.net/V4/VH.git/'

By updating the password stored in Git Credential Manger for Windows(GCM),

Control Panel->User Accounts -> Windows Credentials

Answer 3

I needed to change my user name and password in Intellij Did it by

preferences -> version control -> GitHub

There you can change user name and password.

Answer 4

This worked for me on Intellij 12:

Open settings -> passwords, select "Do not remember passwords" and apply/ok.

Do your VCS fetch/update/push/whatever and it should ask you for a password.

Check remember password and OK, it should do the VCS thing correctly.

Go back to settings -> passwords and switch it back to "Remember on disk", then apply/ok.

IN Android Studio 2.3

1. Open Setting (CTRL+ALT+S)
2. Select Other Settings (at the end)
3. select Bitbucket

Here you can change your new Password or User

Answer 6

For the record, if you've already configured Git on your terminal, there's an option in preferences to use native Git rather than the built-in (bundled) one.
