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

Clear Authentication Data in TortoiseSVN settings

If this doesn't work then there may be further set-up required where certificates are involved which I am unfamiliar with.

I hope this helps.

Whether or not to store passwords is set by the Subversion configuration file.

  • Right click on your desktop, so you see the TortoiseSVN menu. Go to TortoiseSVN->Settings.
  • In the General section, click on the Edit button for the Subversion Configuration File.
  • Two items you wan to change:
    • Make sure that password-stores = windows-cryptoapi is enabled. (I believe this is the default anyway) by removing the # in front of the line.
    • Look for the lines that say store-passwords = no and store-auth-creds = no. Change the no to a yes, and remove the # at the beginning of the line.

Save the changes, and close the initial settings box by clicking on Ok. Next time, when Subversion asks for the password, it will store it.
