Updating credentials from the macOS Keychain

You'll need to update your saved credentials in the git-credential-osxkeychain helper if you change your username, password, or personal access token on GitHub.

Note

Updating credentials from the macOS Keychain only applies to users who manually configured a personal access token using the osxkeychain helper that is built-in to macOS.

We recommend you either configure SSH or upgrade to the Git Credential Manager (GCM) instead. GCM can manage authentication on your behalf (no more manual personal access tokens) including 2FA (two-factor auth).

Git에서 암호를 입력하라는 메시지가 표시되면 personal access token을(를) 입력합니다. 또는 Git 자격 증명 관리자와 같은 자격 증명 도우미를 사용할 수 있습니다. 보다 안전한 인증 방법을 지원하기 위해 Git에서 암호 기반 인증이 제거되었습니다. 자세한 내용은 개인용 액세스 토큰 관리을(를) 참조하세요.

Updating your credentials via Keychain Access

  1. Click on the Spotlight icon (magnifying glass) on the right side of the menu bar.
  2. Type Keychain Access, then press the Enter key to launch the app.
  3. In Keychain Access, search for HOSTNAME.
  4. Find the "Internet password" entry for HOSTNAME.
  5. Edit or delete the entry accordingly.

Deleting your credentials via the command line

Through the command line, you can use the credential helper directly to erase the keychain entry.

$ git credential-osxkeychain erase
host=HOSTNAME
protocol=https
> [Press Return]

If it's successful, nothing will print out. To test that it works, try and clone a private repository. If you are prompted for a password, the keychain entry was deleted.
