How to make Egit remember password and username?
I had different problem. My credentials where saved permanently and I couldn't delete nor change them. Everytime I had Auth Fail from git and maybe You got same problem but in your case it prompts again. Maybe it will help You or others. I went to Preferences -> General -> Security -> Secure storage and in Contents tab deleted "Default Secure Storage" and restarted Eclipse. Then eGit asked me for password again and successfully saved it in storage.
You could use ssh url for your repo, and add your ssh public and private key to EGit.
Or you can activate a credential helper, in order to git to record your credentials.
Struggled with this for a while too:
- Go to the Git Perspective -> Expand your Project -> Expand Remotes -> Expand the remote you want to save your password.
- Right-click on the Fetch or Push -> Select Change Credentials...
- Enter username and password -> Select Ok
This is the workaround I've found to work. It's a bit manual for each Git project, but it works ^_^.
