When I try to clone a private repository using WebStorm/CLion/etc, it succeeds without prompting to enter any user credentials. Where are these credentials stored and how can I change or remove them?

Edit: I'm using Windows.

If you clone over SSH then it's ssh-agent who manages the authentication.
If you clone over HTTPS then probably it is stored in native Keychain (if you are on Linux or MacOS) - you can check it in Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Passwords. And to remove credentials you can use Seahorse or GNOME Keyring or similar app.

The other solution didn't work for me. The following one did work for me. please go to command prompt (windows) or prompt in other O/S

type this --

git config --system --unset credential.helper

it will clear out password stored in git and it will help you get you going..
