How to remove GitHub password from VSCode?

问题

I have cloned one of my GitHub repositories with VSCode and I have made some commits. VSCode has asked me for my GitHub password when I have done the first commit.

I have rebooted the computer and now I can make commits as before, but VSCode does not ask for my password. It seems that the password has been stored. But this computer is not my computer and I do not want that somebody else could use my account.

How can I make VSCode forget my GitHub password?

I have tried the git command：

git config --global --unset-all user.email

But VSCode still lets me commit without asking.

Check your git config credential.helper:

• if it is manager, you would need to open your Windows Credential Manager and remove your credentials there.
  See this answer for illustration.

  git credential-manager reject https://github.com
  

• if it is a osxkeychain, see "Updating credentials from the OSX Keychain"

  git credential-osxkeychain erase https://github.com
  

Reminder, those credentials (username/password) have nothing to do with your git config user.name/user.email.

I'm a long time user of VS Code on both Windows and Mac. After looking into Windows Credential Manager and removing the problematic user on Windows 10, if I push from VS Code the problematic user would return. This is of course after restarting VS Code, the system, etc, and trying multiple times. The entry would re-appear in Windows Credential Manager each time.

At some point I decided to try to edit the entry instead of deleting it. This approach worked. Give that approach a try if removing the entry doesn't seem to solve the issue.
