Eclipse Preference Synchronizer - changing password

I'm using Eclipse Preference Synchronizer to synchronize the settings on the new Eclipse installation. Unfortunately I have entered an incorrect password and now I'm unable to synchronize nor change the password to the correct one. I can see in the Error Log view that the password is incorrect

Is there a way to change the password somehow?

Solution

  • I've already got the answer on the Eclipse Community Forum. The credentials for the Eclipse Preference Synchronizer can be changed under Preferences -> General -> User Storage Service:
