How to make Egit remember password and username?

Question

I\'m working onn a project in Eclipse hosted on Github. Everytime I want to push, a dialog pops up asking for username and password. Anybody know how to save these so I don\

Answer 1

That bug (for https URI) can be linked to the (still opened in 2014) bug 355442:

On every push, egit will ask for password for a secure store.
The problem is, I never check the option to store the repository username and password in the push dialog.

(Meaning if you forget to enter the credentials, it won't ask you again for it)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Push to upstream with the "store username and password in secure store" option unchecked.
2. push again.

Getting prompted constantly is pretty annoying but what is more annoying is that I have to uncheck the checkbox every time it shows up.
If the password is to be stored in the secure storage then the dialog will never prompt again. Wouldn't it make more sense for the checkbox to be unchecked by default?

So a workaround is to Remote>Fetch, using a "Custom URI" (as Antoine mentioned before), in order to enter again the URI, and enter your credentials there, selecting "Store in Secure Store".
Subsequent push should work fine, since they are using the same URI you just entered.
