I am having a very weird situation when cloning a Git repository from our company private server. The repository is not anonymous (it requires authentication), but when cloning, VS didn't ask any username and password and automatically use an old authentication of old employee. Is there a way to remove the saved username and password and make Visual Studio to prompt them when cloning?
