Update TFS (Team Foundation Server) cached credentials in VS2008
Recently I came across this “issue” or at least something not so straightforward when I needed to use different credentials from a TFS client in Visual Studio 2008.
I found out that you have to remove the cached credentials from your network password cache. In order to do that, you need to follow these steps:
1) (Windows Vista) Navigate to: Control Panel\User Accounts\User Accounts (Classic View)
2) Select on the left menu, “Manage your Network passwords”
3) Look for an item named like “<dialup session>” in the “Stored User names and passwords” dialog
4) Remove that entry with the “remove” button on the right.
5) Close all dialogs, open VS and try to connect to TFS. The credentials dialog will show up asking for credentials.
Hopefully we may expect something more “friendly” in the future for managing TFS access.
