SourceTree "fatal: Authentication failed for..."

[Jay Burgess]

Mac OSX El Capitan.  SourceTree 2.4.  I cloned some remote repos a few couple of weeks ago, and have been pulling my team's updates in SourceTree with no issue.  

Unfortunately, I had to change my password on the remote system over the weekend, and now when I pull from the SourceTree toolbar, I get "fatal: Authentication failed for..." errors.

I found that if I open a Terminal window for a given repo, and do "pull <repoName>", it asks for my new password once, and then works from the Terminal from that point on.  However, it still continues to fail from within SourceTree, even after re-starting SourceTree.

I cannot seem to figure out how to make SourceTree recognize my newly-entered password from the Terminal pull, or forget my previous one and ask me for the new one.   What am I missing?

[Jay Burgess]

I just answered my own question.  There is a SourceTree Application password stored in the login keychain.  Deleting that caused SourceTree to prompt me for the new password.  Not sure how I missed it the first time I searched.

To delete it

• cmd+space and type "KeyChain Access",
• You should find a key with the name like "gitlab.*.com Access Key for user". You can order by date modified to find it more easily.
• Right click and delete.
