Sourcetree change password of existing account


I use Sourcetree to pull and push to a server over ssh. Sourcetree has remembered the password but the password has changed. I cannot find how to inform Sourcetree of the new password.

Based on Google searches, I have tried the following things:

I am using Sourcetree 2.0.18.1

Update

I have been circumventing this problem by using key based authentication through pageant. In the meantime, there have also been updates to Sourcetree and I'm currently using 2.3.1 for which editing/removing the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Atlassian\SourceTree\passwd file works (2.0.18 didn't have that file).


Solution

  • I had to manually clear stored credentials by emptying those files on my Windows:

    %LocalAppData%\Atlassian\SourceTree\userhost
    %LocalAppData%\Atlassian\SourceTree\passwd
    

    Then restart SourceTree.
