On my local Windows machine I maintain a credential store in the form of a text file. But from time to time one of the entries disappears. I run regularly some background jobs, cloning some stuff, and I suspect this happens when the external authentication service is down temporarily. When it is later resumed, I can't clone the repo anymore because of that deleted entry.

Is there any option to keep entries on authentication failures? Or is this simply a bug? Or is there another reason why this happens?

Git 2.35.1.windows.2
Thanks, Jan
