Comment (by gnotaras):

 After much effort the only way to resolve this was to revoke my access
 credentials and generate new ones in the AWS IAM console. But that really
 sucked as a workaround...

 Please find a way to make the application clear those saved passwords
 automatically or, if there is a bug involved, please fix it.

 I would also suggest the following:

  * The option to save the password, which exists in the dialog that asks
 for the credentials, should be ''unchecked'' by default.
  * IMHO you should consider disabling the "Use Keychain" option by
 default.
  * Moreover, the application is configured to save too much information by
 default out of the box (username, password, credential auto-saving,
 history). IMHO, apart from the above, there should be options to prevent
 it from saving history, even from saving the username, if it hasn't
 explicitly been set in the bookmark.

 Kind Regards,
 George
