Storing credentials failed in fetch using EGIT

Initially I had the same problem as described in egit - not authorized.

First, I successfully cloned the repository from Bitbucket.

Then, I tried to fetch and got the error “not authorized”

However, when I used the advice and clicked “Change Credentials” I received the following error:

"Storing credentials failed

No password provided"

I am using STS ( Spring Tool Suite ,Version: 3.9.1.RELEASE,Build Id: 201710111105 Platform: Eclipse Oxygen.1a (4.7.1a))

and I resolved it by going to

windows->Preferences->General->Security-Secure Storage

you can see password tab there might be 2 options under master password providers:

  • windows Integration(64bit) with priority as 5
  • and another one UI Prompt,

So just uncheck Windows Integration (64bit) checkbox

and click Apply and Close button try to access your git or tool, it will ask you for master password for storage there on it will work.

I was having this problem with STS 4.0 where even after saving credential in secure storage, any git pull or PUSH activity was asking for credentials every time.

I followed below steps to resolve the issue

1.Navigate to Preferences > General > Security > Secure Storage
2. click on content tab and expand which has git credentials.
3. Now delete the selected git credential and close the screen.
4. When next prompt of credentials pops up, provide your credentials and check the box store to secure storage. It will not ask for password again.
5. I have also made a video to proof it. refer the video link here

If you are running Eclipse on OS X, the other answers may not work. If you change the contents of the Eclipse bundle (either manually or by updating some core features or plugins), the application signature will no longer match and the OSX Keystore Integration will no longer be usable. See Bug 391455 for more information.

Downloading a fresh copy of Eclipse will solve this problem, but as a workaround you can also disable OS X Keystore Integration and use Eclipse's built-in one instead: Disable OS X Keystore Integration

The accepted answer didn't work for me. There is another solution - in Eclipse simply navigate to:

Preferences > General > Security > Secure Storage > Contents

and delete everything.

I had this same problem after updating egit. This advice from another forum worked:

Open up Preferences > General > Security > Secure Storage. Select "OSX Keystore Integration", then click "Change Password..."

If you see a dialog saying "An error occurred while decrypting stored values... Do you want to cancel password change?" Click "No."

This will reset the secure storage master password in the OSX Keystore. You will be asked if you want to provide additional information for password recovery, which is optional.
