Unable to use heroku gem cli after password changes

Question

I changed my password via the web interface. And now I can\'t run any command that requires authentication. Password is using plain ASCII, nothing fancy, no Unicode, weird non-p

Answer 1

The problem is due to heroku accounts as detailed by @vaughanos in his answer. A quick way to fix this is.

Check the accounts you have

heroku accounts

account1

*account2

The * indicates the heroku account being used for the current project. This is the account you have done the password change for using the web interface.

Change the default account you have setup for this project

Either change it in .git/config or do a heroku accounts:set account1

Now do heroku accounts:remove account2

Now add it back with heroku accounts:add account2. Enter your email and new password. Everything will be setup up for you.

If it prompts you to update your ~/.ssh/config, do it, but most likely that wouldn't require a change.
