NoteKeychain Access also has the ability to store passwords for web browsers - you can use the program to delete any unwanted passwords for websites if you are having problems with your web browser.

How Chrome saves your passwords depends on whether you want to store and use them across devices. When you're signed in to Chrome, you can save your passwords to your Google Account. Passwords can then be used on Chrome across your devices, and across some apps on your Android devices.


When you log in to a specific website, sometimes your web browser will ask if you want it to remember the password for that site, or it may say "Remember me?" meaning "Do you want this site to hold on to your login credentials?" If you click for the browser to remember your password or to remember you, the browser will store your login information and autofill the login fields each time you go to access that specific site.


Information technology strongly recommends that you do not click to have sites remember you, your password, etc. The reason for this is that it is easier for third parties to access your login credentials if the credentials are saved in a web browser. Clearing your saved passwords can help remove you from this security risk.

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows how to change the content of the email text that is sent for a password reset. We have a dev/test/training environments and 3 different databases so it would be nice to have a custom email to not which database/environment the password reset came from.


The Git credential cache runs a daemon process which caches your credentials in memory and hands them out on demand. So killing your git-credential-cache--daemon process throws all these away and results in re-prompting you for your password if you continue to use this as the cache.helper option.


You could also disable use of the Git credential cache using git config --global --unset credential.helper. Then reset this, and you would continue to have the cached credentials available for other repositories (if any). You may also need to do git config --system --unset credential.helper if this has been set in the system configuration file (for example, Git for Windows 2).


On Windows you might be better off using the manager helper (git config --global credential.helper manager). This stores your credentials in the Windows credential store which has a Control Panel interface where you can delete or edit your stored credentials. With this store, your details are secured by your Windows login and can persist over multiple sessions. The manager helper included in Git for Windows 2.x has replaced the earlier wincred helper that was added in Git for Windows 1.8.1.1. A similar helper called winstore is also available online and was used with GitExtensions as it offers a more GUI driven interface. The manager helper offers the same GUI interface as winstore.


Go to Control Panel > User Accounts > Credential Manager > Windows Credentials. You will see Git credentials in the list (e.g. git:). Click on it, update the password, and execute git pull/push command from your Git bash and it won't throw any more error messages.


Using latest version of git for Windows on Windows 10 Professional and I had a similar issue whereby I have two different GitHub accounts and also a Bitbucket account so things got a bit confusing for VS2017, git extensions and git bash.


I found the entry Credential Manager so I clicked on the START button > typed Credential Manager to and left-clicked on the credential manager yellow safe icon which launched the app. I then clicked on the Windows Credentials tabs and found the entry for my current git account which happened to be Bit-bucket so I deleted this account.


But this didn't do the trick so the next step was to unset the credentials and I did this from the repository directory on my laptop that contains the GitHub project I am trying to push to the remote. I typed the following command:


I am not sure how much of an issue this is going forward most people probably work off the one repository but I have to work across several and using different providers so may encounter this issue again.


What finally fixed this for me was to use GitHub desktop, go to repository settings, and remove user:pass@ from the repository url. Then, I attempted a push from the command line and was prompted for login credentials. After I put those in everything went back to normal. Both Visual Studio and command line are working, and of course, GitHub desktop.


Although the title says "Remove credentials", the description leads me to the assumption that you may have multiple accounts on GitHub, e.g. for job-related vs. private projects. (At least that issue made me find this topic.)If so read on, otherwise, ignore the answer, but it may come in handy at some time.


Git Credential Managers (short GCM) like Microsoft's GCM for Windows store credentials per host by default.This can be verified by checking the Windows Credential Manager (see other answers on how to access it on English, French, and German Windows versions).So working with multiple accounts on the same host (here github.com) is not possible by default.


Configure git to include the full path to the repository as additional information for each credential entry. Also documented on GCM for Windows.

I personally prefer to include the HTTP(S) [repository] path to be able to use a separate account for each and every repository.


One thing that annoys me using Linux's terminal is when I have to type a invisble password, like when you run ssh. Sometimes I mistype one or more letters and then I have to press backspace key a few times to make sure that I erased everything to start again.


I know this is not a big deal but since on the other day I found out that pressing CTRL+L "clears" the terminal I was wondering if there's a way to clear/erase the invisible password without relying on backspace or pressing enter key to try again.


Characters like Ctrl+L are handled by the application. In the case of entering input into the shell, like bash, it clears the screen. Some applications, like emacs, use it to redraw the screen and/or recenter the cursor.


Characters like Ctrl+U at a password prompt are handled by the TTY line discipline. They'll work any time the input terminal is in the "canonical" line-editing mode, which is what mode your programs are in while you're entering a password. In this mode, it's the Linux kernel itself that is interpreting these characters. You can see what functions are assigned to which keys in the output of stty -a:


And I'm calling this function in fancybox on startup. How can I reset the password text in above function so that if the user has typed something in text field & closed the pop-up & then if user opens it again, I don't want that password to reappear....How can I do it using jquery in above function?


The above is a password field which for some reason, is automatically filled only in Mozilla (not in Chrome and IE11). Obviously it keeps the value field from previous trials. I tried so much to clear this field. The only way I can manage it, is through the following:


I may be wrong but I guess it is not a code problem at all !!. It may be the saved passwords in the browser. For example when you open up the page in chrome , just check out the top right of the omnibox and you can click the cross to delete the saved password for that page. I guessed this because you say it comes only in mozilla and not other browsers.


This is an old question, but I did it a way that is not mentioned yet. This was after trying almost all suggestions in this thread (except the timeout as I don't want to add any unnecessary delays in my page).


If you mean remove the autologon password at boot time, do a reg delete GPO on hklm\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\winlogon and remove the keys for default username, default password and auto admin logon.


In the registry the auto login config is set but the password is visible, I know there is a way so it doesnt show the password in clear text but not sure how to implement this to devices already out there with it set. Hope that makes sense? Windows 10


It may be best to have a unique username at each machine with a unique password. The passwords should not follow any pattern or formula.

Even if the machines are domain-joined, it may be best to have the autologon user be local. You can still browse the net, access e-mail, use most programs and print. Shared files can be accessed too without logging in to the domain as long as you set the mappings and permissions properly.


When I install dropbox again, it does not prompt me for my user account password OR my dropbox account password. Yet somehow it adds itself to the Accessibility permissions anyway and is logged into my account. That indicates to me that it is caching both of my passwords somewhere. I am fine with caching my dropbox password, but I absolutely am not fine with it caching my MacOS account password.

I have found the thing that was acting with admin rights without my permission in the system Library dropbox helper tools and that got rid of the issue with dropbox adding itself improperly to Accessibility settings without pemission on reinstall.



However, I am still missing something somewhere. Where does dropbox store the token or login info for the account on the device? Deleting the app and all the preferences didn't do that and it doesn't seem to be in the keychain.
