Overleaf: My authentication token has expired!

Hey, has your Overleaf token expired again? Happy December! Here's how to fix it.

Generate a new token #

1. Head to account settings: https://www.overleaf.com/user/settings
2. Generate a new token, copy it.

In the terminal #

1. Try to do a git pull
2. It might be that you get a git failure message (this is probably how you realized that your token expired in the first place)
3. If you get a kwallet message, you'll be tempted to hit cancel. Instead, go through the kwallet flow.
4. At the end of it, if you're on the laptop, it'll pop up a dialog asking for a password. The authentication token is the password, go ahead and paste it here.

Concluding thoughts #

If all goes well, you should be able to do a git pull just like before.
