Recover SVN password from local cache

Question

is there a way to recover a password from local cache? The password has to be stored somewhere because I can run

svn co http://my.svn.server/foo

<

Answer 1

In ~/.subversion/auth/svn.simple/ you should find a file with a long hexadecimal name. The password is in there in plaintext.

If there is more than one file you'll need to find that one that references the server you need the password for.
