I had to change my password for my account which is not the same account i log into my machine with. When connected to the local tfs server, I supplied my password to VS2017 and checked remember password. Now that the password has changed, I cannot connect.
I have tried to remove the tfs in credential manager and also deleted the .IdentityService. Neither have helped. Anyone know if they changed something with VS 2017 and they are cached or stored somewhere else?

1. Go to Control Panel (Start -> Control Panel). 5. Click on two credential's modify link, click the link Remove from vault to remove stored TFS credentials.
Turns out we are relying on Windows to do this for us. To dump this cache all you need to do is go to control panel > User Accounts > Manage Your Network Passwords select the Team foundation Server and choose remove – viola! Next time you go into Team Explorer you will be prompted for a new set of credentials.
Just to make it clear, you go to Control Panel --> User Accounts and Family Safety --> Credential Manager, Select Windows Credentials, in the list below, remove the credentials for TFS in the cloud.
Please try below items to narrow down the issue:
In Credential Manager add the new updated Generic Credentials for the TFS account. Generally, this would overwrite the cached credentials.
Close all Visual Studio instances, delete
%LOCALAPPDATA%\.IdentityService as you did.
Clear TFS caches %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\7.0\Cache
Clear all the browser caches especially for the stored password
Restart Visual Studio > Team Explorer > Manage Connections to check
if the Enter credential dialog popup. Just try this several times.
Based on my test the dialog will popup the first time, but if you cancel
it, then you have to restart VS to popup it again.
Run Visual Studio as another user:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE
runas /netonly /user:<account> devenv.exe
Enter the user possword, then Team Explorer > Manage Connections

I tried to follow the steps listed in the other answer. But on first step I decided to try just editing the password in credentials manager. It worked for me.
So if anyone else is having the same problem you might want to try that first.

Clear the config from the following path:
C:\users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_????\Team Explorer\
These Steps worked for the issue : The V2 feed returned an unexpected status code '403 Forbidden' for configured nuGet package through Artifactory
