TortoiseSVN does not save password

I have installed Tortoise SVN 1.8.7 on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

The turtle always asks to save the password, but the styling is not saved :(

I clear the AppData \ Roaming \ Subversion path multiple times, but I don't keep the anithing on svn.simple

The connection is made using a certificate.

Can anyone tell me a trick I was missing? :)

thank

When Tortoise SVN did not save my user / password credentials, I solved the problem by going to TortoiseSVN settings -> Saved Data -> Clear Authentication Data (see picture below). Also check that AllowAuthSave is set to true in TortoiseSVN settings -> Advanced.

Clear Authentication Data in TortoiseSVN Settings



If that doesn't work, there might be some additional setup required that contains certificates that I'm not familiar with.

Hope this helps.

Whether or not to save passwords is controlled by the Subversion configuration file.

  • Right click on the desktop to see the TortoiseSVN menu. Go to TortoiseSVN->Settings

    .
  • In the General section, click the Edit button for the Subversion config file.
  • The two elements you want to change:
    • Make sure it's password-stores = windows-cryptoapi

      on. (I believe this is the default anyway) by deleting #

      before the line.
    • Find the lines that say store-passwords = no

      and store-auth-creds = no

      . Change no

      to yes

      and remove #

      at the beginning of the line.


Save changes and close the initial settings window by clicking "OK". The next time Subversion asks for a password, it will save it.
