'cannot commit or push using egit (guess: issues with secure storage area)
I can commit/push from bash shell using git. However, I cannot commit/push using eclipse/egit. I get pop up error " ssh://[email protected]/home/git/cbm.git: SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT: 2 Too many authentication failures for xxx"
I believe secure storage area is creating the problems. I use multiple machines (desktop and laptop) in office to access the repo and recently I changed the passwords. I believe this is causing issues egit/eclipse accessing the repo because of the secure storage setup in eclipse.
Is there anyway, I can reset/delete the secure storage in eclipse. I tried few things (based on https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=425672):
restored default in eclipse preferences: General/Security/Secure Storage and in
General/Network Connections/SSH2
I am on eclipse Kepler
Solution 1:[1]
deleted the folder ~user/.eclipse. I think it stores all the temporary settings. working on centos. staying away from setting up secure storage after restarting eclipse

This is now available by going to Preferences -> General -> Security -> Secure Storage and then pressing the Delete button.
You don't need to blow away your other settings to clear the remembered passwords.
