| Updating credentials from the macOS Keychain | You'll need to update your saved credentials in the `git-credential-osxkeychain` helper if you change your{% ifversion not ghae %} username, password, or{% endif %} personal access token on {% data variables.product.product_name %}. |

macOS Keychain credentials |
{% tip %}
Note: Updating credentials from the macOS Keychain only applies to users who manually configured a PAT using the osxkeychain helper that is built-in to macOS.
We recommend you either configure SSH or upgrade to the Git Credential Manager Core (GCM Core) instead. GCM Core can manage authentication on your behalf (no more manual PATs) including 2FA (two-factor auth).

Updating your credentials via Keychain Access
- Click on the Spotlight icon (magnifying glass) on the right side of the menu bar. Type
Keychain accessthen press the Enter key to launch the app.
- In Keychain Access, search for {% data variables.command_line.backticks %}.
- Find the "internet password" entry for
{% data variables.command_line.backticks %}. - 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={% data variables.command_line.codeblock %}
protocol=https
> <em>[Press Return]</em>
If it's successful, nothing will print out. To test that it works, try and clone a private repository from {% data variables.product.product_location %}. If you are prompted for a password, the keychain entry was deleted.
