GitHub Password in Repository #23866

|
Can anyone tell my why my GitHub account password is being displayed in my repositorys and how to remove it? It’s sitting in the header of the MAIN branch (above the files). Not sure how it got there. Thanks |

I looked at a few of your public repositories and not seeing anything resembling a password there. Could you post a screenshot? You can censor the actual password, but where you see it would be important. |

Ah, now I can see what’s wrong there. What’s displayed there is the author name set in that commit. And looking at the history of that repository, there seem to be a lot of commits with that author name. The email address in those commits looks wrong too. 😉 Things you should do now (in order):
Good luck! |
