Clearing the default credentials cache for connecting to a Team Foundation Server

by XDK 8. January 2014 12:08

Explanation:

Visual Studio/Team Explorer/MTM remembers your last credentials, So that you need not enter the login credentials everytime you connect to TFS. This will be a problem when you try to login as a different user.

Solution:

Perform the following steps to clear the credentials cache

  • Goto windows control panel --> "User Accounts" --> "Manage your credentials" 
  • Search for your TFS url in the list --> Expand the TFS url credentials in the list
  • click "Remove from vault" button
