| 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 %} {% data variables.product.pat_generic %} 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 {% data variables.product.pat_generic %} 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 {% data variables.product.pat_generic %}s) 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
> [Press Return]
If it's successful, nothing will print out. To test that it works, try and clone a private repository from {% data variables.location.product_location %}. If you are prompted for a password, the keychain entry was deleted.
