Stop vscodium remembering my password

[RichardGladman]

Today, when pushing to github, vscodium didn't ask for my certificate password but the push still worked. I assume that vscodium has saved my password somewhere. How do I remove it and prevent it being saved in the future?

Thanks.

Do you use any git extension?

If you use the default git extension, look at the git.useIntegratedAskPass which use the GIT_ASKPASS env variable.

I've tried it both selected and deselected and got the same result. It's the source control that came with vscodium, but I have also added gitlens in case that overrides it.

For gitlens, I would avoid the few latest versions, they are doing weird things...

• try removing the credential helper (stops saving passwords permanently)
  git config --global --unset credential.helper

• clear the git cached credentials, depends on your system

• optionally, use memory cache for a short duration (e.g., 1 minute)
  git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=60'

• look at following settings:

{
  "git.autofetch": false,
  "github.gitAuthentication": false,
  "git.terminalAuthentication": false
}

VSCode solution for that issue would also work for VSCodium

I've made those changes, I'll try a push tomorrow. Thank you.

Edit: That's asking for my passphrase again, so thank you very much.
