Reset-Login Forget any saved login for the active project folder so it can be set up again.
Description
Reset-Login asks the system to forget the saved login for the host that publishes your project. Use it when the saved login has gone stale (token rotated, password changed) or when GitEasy keeps using the wrong identity.
Reset-Login tries every supported way to clear the saved login: it asks Git's credential layer to reject and erase the saved entry, and on Windows it also removes matching cmdkey entries. After Reset-Login, the next operation that needs a login will prompt for fresh credentials.
Reset-Login currently supports HTTPS published locations only.

Notes
Safety:
- After Reset-Login, you may be prompted again for credentials on the next operation. That is expected.
- Do not run during an active save or merge.
- Always run Test-Login after Reset-Login before saving more work.
