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).

当 Git 提示你输入密码时，请输入你的personal access token。 或者，可以使用 Git 凭据管理器等凭据帮助程序。 Git 的基于密码的身份验证已被删除，取而代之的是更安全的身份验证方法。 有关详细信息，请参阅“管理个人访问令牌”。

本文包含使用 github.com 域的命令或示例。 可以在其他域（例如 octocorp.ghe.com）中访问 GitHub。

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 github.com.
  4. Find the "Internet password" entry for github.com.
  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=github.com
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.
