Node-RED Projects Credentials Authentication failed

General

I am helping a friend set up projects on the Windows device for Node-RED. He is running Node-RED V3.1.5 and we have projects enabled and have loaded git Bash. The editor now recognizes git but it is failing on the authentication portion.

/** By default, credentials are encrypted in storage using a generated key. To

//credentialSecret: "a-secret-key",

We have uncommented the credentialSecret and set the value to false it still fails to authenticate.

Thanks in advance for advice.

After you uncommented credentialSecret: did you stop and then restart Node-RED?

Yes we did. However I have been on a call with the user and he figured it out. Git was defaulting to an online account. Once he changed that it started to work. He figured it out after he upgraded to Node-RED 4.x

Thanks for helping.
