Answer 1

Your credentials are stored in the file you (or the thing using git credential-store) specified when you (or it) ran the command, as described in the documentation. The default is $HOME/.git-credentials. You should be able to open this file in your editor and edit it, or simply remove it entirely.

Note that you may also want to change the credential helper so that these are not stored again. See the git credential-cache documentation as well, for instance.
