How to update changed password

EndNote EndNote How To
1

Hello, I recently began using Endnote and Endnote web. More recently, I have had to update all my passwords, including the password to my Endnote Web account. Now my desktop version will not sync with Endnote Web telling me that my credentials are invalid.

Here is the error display:

Sync was last run: Never

Sync Status: There are changes that need to be sent.

Error Code: Server.AuthenticationToken.invalidUserCredentials

Error Message: Failed: The username/password specified is not valid.

Thanks in advance for any input,

Have you looked in the Endnote Edit>preferences> Sync settings?

I could hug you, Thanks.

However, if somebody else has this problem (and using also a new user to Mac): you go to

Endnote X7 (to the right of File) > Preferences > Sync

From there you have to change the password in two places (the first one you will see then you click on Enable and you are prompted to enter your email/pass again).
