Credentials dropdown does not show newly created credentials

[karianna]

Attempted to add a new (Jenkins Credential Provider) Credentials but upon saving the new credential it does not appear in the Credentials dropdown.

Jenkins ver. 2.63 and GitHub Pull Request Builder 1.37.0 with plain credentials plugin 1.4 and Credentials plugin version 2.1.13

This is only true for when I create a api.github.com credential. When creating a global one this appears in the list.

I had the same issue when using an SSH based authentication, but it worked fine with Username/Password credentials.
Still, there's something going awry here...

I am having the same issue. Can anyone provide me the solution?

@karianna Jenkins 2.73.3; in my experience with setting up the Jenkins system configuration for GitHub plugin, the credential "Kind" field must be "Secret text". I tried adding two or three other types of credentials, but they do not subsequently appear in the Credentials dropdown.
See "2. At Credential level" section discussion here:

This is happening to me also. Trying to add credentials with username and password. But it is not showing me the added credentials. Need Help!!

For me, When I create multi-branch pipeline and choose source type as Bitbucket, the Bitbucket Branch Source plugin does not list the credential of type "secret text" "SSH with user and private key"

The documentation needs to be updated to make it clear that 'Secret Text' cannot be used with this plugin -- it must be a username / password credential.

Me too; username/password is what I'm using but when you add credentials it doesn't get added to the drop down box. First time coming back to Jenkins after 5 years and it doesn't seem to have got any easier :(!

Anyone struggling with the issue of trying to add credentials with username and password but not showing the creds on the dropdown, try this it worked for me.

Jenkins > Credentials > System > Global Credentials (or whatever group you want to have access or your access allow) > Add Credentials.

Then go back to the Source Code Management section of the project, and select the credentials from the dropdown.

Worked with Secret Text access when I generated a Personal API Token
