Cannot push to Git with IntelliJ Idea12

Question

I recently updated to IntelliJ idea 12, and I am unable to Push to Git. The error message I am getting is

8:02:10 AM Push failed: Couldn't authorize

I can push without issue using Tortoise Git. I am thinking this stems from my password changing for LDAP, however I cannot find anywhere to change the saved Git password in IntelliJ.

I have tried changing the master password but that did not resolve the issue.

I can pull without issue.

Answer 1

I would recommend you to open a request in the tracker and attach the log there (Help -> Reveal Log).

Btw, to remove all passwords from IDEA for sure you have to restart after resetting the master password, because passwords may be saved to memory as well.

Answer 2

I know this is a late answer, but I've experienced this problem too (as recent as today), and I have an easy "fix" for it until JetBrains fix it.

Instead of wiping the entire .IntelliJIdea12 folder, which will result in you loosing all settings, you can simply delete the security.xml file in ~\.IntelliJIdea12\config\options and restart IDEA. Now you will be prompted to enter credentials again, and it should work just fine.
