I will be facing this issue every six times a year. Because domain account password gets expired every 2 months 0 days or 8 weeks 5 days or 61 calendar days interval due to business security policy.

Follow these steps to change/set Password of TFS from IDE

1. Delete TeamExplorer.config from %AppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_xxxxxxxx\Team Explorer. (So after establishing a successful connection, it'll try to recreate again with the same data)
2. Add or change the TFS account Credential from Windows Credential Manager.
   So it won't prompt to enter a password again whenever when a connecting is established from IDE to TFS
3. If the above doesn't work close the Visual Studio IDE.
   Delete all the files inside %LocalAppData%\.IdentityService and %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\7.0\Cache and
   on elevated prompt execute runas /netonly /user: devenv.exe navigating from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\\Common7\IDE\"
