Why does Sourcetree not allow me to delete my Github password?
EditedI am on source tree version 2.5.5.0 on Windows 10 64 bit
- I go to Tools -> Options, Authentication tab
- I expand the Github - Https Saved Passwords section
- I click the Delete button to delete my password
- I am asked if I am sure I want to delete the password. I click Yes
Observe: The Github password collapses, but is not removed from the Saved Passwords section
Expected: Deleting a password should remove the entry from the Github - Https Saved Passwords section
This is a bug I've encountered before so I think it's been around for a while. Is there a fix for this?

Hi Victor! Thank you for reporting this. This issue was already submitted to our issue tracker and you can find it at SRCTREEWIN-8551.
The credentials are stored in Windows Credential Manager and can be deleted from there.
Git credentials are prefixed by 'git:', Mercurial credentials by 'hg:' and Sourcetree REST credentials by 'sourcetree'. In the meantime, you can have your password deleted by doing so directly in the Windows Credential Manager.
Hope that helps!
