@WenTianShi welcome, and thanks for the question. GitHub Desktop uses an OAuth token which allows it to access your GitHub account. This OAuth token is still valid even if the password associated with your GitHub account changes. You can revoke OAuth applications by going to https://github.com/settings/applications – see this article for more information. GitHub has a full guide for resetting all of the various access credentials in the case of your account being compromised. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions about this. |
