How to update password in Visual Studio 2019 - Live Share account?


I'm trying to live share my code in Visual Studio 2019 Preview (Version 16.0.0 Preview 4.2).

At initial time when providing the credential, accidentally I gave wrong password. So it prompting me the warning as below:

invalid credential

In plaintext:

Failed to authenticate the user due to invalid credentials

In the warning window, if I click the "Retry" button it again prompt a popup window to select the account as shown below.

select account

After selecting the account, I didn't see any option to update the password or unlink the existing account.

So is there any option to provide the correct password or unlink the existing account?


Solution

  • Today when I have updated the Live Share version to 0.3.1403.0, the authenticate issue was automatically resolved.

    Seems there was an issue with the previous version 0.3.1402.1. With the recent version I can able to live share my screen to others.
