ESP32 OTA password problems

Hi,
I have a project that uses OTA to update an ESP32.
The password for OTA is set correctly in the Arduino OTA code.
The first time I tried to upload (without a board.txt file) it asked for a password, which I gave but typed incorrectly.
I then created a board.txt file with network.password=<correct password>
Whenever I try to do an upload it continues to use the old incorrect password (as seen in the verbose output)
If I change the password in board.txt it does not change when trying to upload.
I removed the board.txt and it still tries to upload with security.
I did a clean and rebuild, still the same.

It appears the password is being cached somewhere but I have no idea where.
If I remember it was historically always read from the board.txt file in the project.

Any ideas?

More info:
It definitely appears it is cached. 
Closing VS and re opening it with the project and the password is correctly read from board.txt however making any changes in board.txt are not picked up until VS is closed and opened again.

Thanks for the report and noting the workaround of restarting VS.

We will look into this and update when a fix is available.
