Password change

[whoisstan]

I had to change my heroku password and have had trouble ever since authenticating with heroku using the command line. I found out that actually removing the heroku accounts plugin does the trick.

However if I add it back again I am having the same issue. Is there a way to refresh the authentication information?

I'm having this issue, too. Get prompted for password, enter correct password, still get an "Authentication failed" error.

Another one having this issue here. Removing the account and readding it worked, though. I didn't have to remove the whole plugin.

+1 ... same issue. Had to remove the plugin to login via CLI. Adding the plugin again doesn't work for me. Will try removing the account and re-adding it.

+1 Same issue occurred for me as well.

+1 on this issue. I just updated my Heroku password due to the Heartbleed Open SSL bug. I was not able to login from CLI until I used heroku accounts:remove then re-added by using heroku accounts:add. This gotcha is going to get some people. Still, this plugin has been very useful for managing multiple accounts. Hope this issue gets addressed.

Yeah, I also ran into this same issue after I updated my Heroku account passwords for #heartbleed. ❤️

If you delete the heroku-accounts plugin before removing your pre-existing accounts, you may put your setup into a bad state, as i did.

I'm kept getting an error that one of my heroku accounts could not be found... and there was no way to fix it after I removed the plugin. I even tried installing the plugin again, but I got the same error. My hunch is the heroku app I was working on kept trying to load the saved account info, but it no longer existed.

Here's what I did to resolve it:

• Uninstalled the heroku-accounts plugin
• Ran rm -rfd ~/.heroku/accounts to delete my existing cached accounts
• Reinstalled the heroku-accounts plugin
• Added each of my accounts using heroku accounts:add [account nickname]

You also might want to double check your ~/.ssh/config file to confirm that you are using the same account nicknames as before to prevent other potential problems.

We should probably update the README docs to make it explicitly clear that you must update account passwords by deleting and then re-adding accounts.

Same here. Uninstalling heroku-accounts fixes the problem.

heroku plugins:uninstall heroku-accounts
rm -r ~/.heroku/accounts
heroku logout
heroku login

Just ran into this too. Probably a lot of people will due to Heartbleed password resets.

I see that ~/.heroku/accounts contains a password hash.

@mokolabs I ran into the heroku "account not found" loop too. From #26 git config --get heroku.account and remove it with git config --unset heroku.account

[mokolabs]

@nathany Awesome. Thanks!

So, what worked for me was:

• heroku accounts:remove ACCOUNT
• heroku accounts:add ACCOUNT # enter credentials, no need to re-generate the keys AFAIK
• git config --add heroku.account ACCOUNT # for each project

I've seen no need to git config --unset heroku.account but I might have missed something.

Hello. I apologize for the delayed response. I am currently declaring issue bankruptcy. If this issue still applies to you please feel free to re-open and explain. Thanks :)
