### Updating your credentials via Keychain Access
|
|
|
|
1. Click on the Spotlight icon (magnifying glass) on the right side of the menu bar. Type `Keychain access` then press the Enter key to launch the app.
|
|
|
|
2. In Keychain Access, search for **{% data variables.command_line.backticks %}**.
|
|
3. Find the "internet password" entry for `{% data variables.command_line.backticks %}`.
|
|
4. 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.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ 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.
