killing the process still leaves traces. at least in 1.9.1. be careful.

| Jan 5, 2018 at 7:01 | comment | added | Eldhose Abraham | in windows 10 Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Credential Manager . There could be a Generic Credential for GitHub. You can update the user name and password there. | |
| Dec 27, 2017 at 15:44 | comment | added | Display name | On a windows box just do this: git config --global credential.helper manager. No need for anything else. | |

Updated with details of the manager helper which is now preferred on Windows.

| Sep 7, 2016 at 14:29 | comment | added | dsuess | "helper=wincred" was the hint. It was not listed in the git online book. | |
| Jun 8, 2016 at 9:32 | comment | added | DanielH | Under Windows 8/10 the detailed User Account Settings are located under the "classic" Controll Panel, not the "Settings" App (modern UI). Just to avoid confusion. | |
| Apr 21, 2016 at 16:34 | comment | added | Jeff | Under windows 8.1 the "Windows Credentials" was under Generic Credentials and git:gitlab.com or your git server of choice. | |
| Jan 19, 2016 at 21:56 | comment | added | patthoyts | The git-credential-cache helper stores things in current memory. Something might end up in the system pagefile but it is no more readable that it was while the process was running. | |
| Jan 19, 2016 at 13:40 | comment | added | Ufos | Doesn't killing the process leave any traces somewhere, so that the password could be still accessed? According to git manual they are stored in "plain text". | |
