Git Integration in PyCharm 2026.1: Unresolved Credential Revocation Notification

Unresolved Credential Revocation in PyCharm 2026.1

PyCharm stores Git personal access tokens (PATs) in the operating‑system keychain, but the IDE does not notify users when a token is revoked on the hosting service. The cached entry remains until the user deletes it manually, causing silent checkout failures.

When a PAT expires or is revoked, PyCharm prompts for credentials but may silently retry with the stale cached token, leading to intermittent failures without user awareness.

There is no built‑in UI to rotate or revoke PATs, and least‑privilege scopes are not enforced by the IDE; the token’s permissions are entirely server‑side.

Is there a plan to implement a revocation notification or automatic credential clearance in future releases? How can developers enforce least‑privilege scopes within PyCharm’s Git integration? Can PyCharm be configured to detect token expiration and prompt for a fresh credential automatically?
