Authentication Experience

When you access a Git repository from a JADE development environment for the first time, you are prompted to enter your credentials.

If your account has multi‑factor authentication (MFA) configured, you are presented with a provider‑specific experience to complete the authentication process. Following completion of the authentication process, your credentials are saved in the Windows credential store and used to process the current and subsequent Git requests.

JADE uses a prefix of jade-git in the credential key name, which means that keys are easily recognizable and that saved credentials are not shared with other Git client tools.

If you ever need to clear credentials from storage, you can use the Credential Manager in the Windows Control Panel to remove it or use the cmdkey.exe tool from the command line. See the Windows cmdkey documentation at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/cmdkey, for details.
