| <h1 class="Head">Password Management</h1> |
| <p>When creating a repository location, an option is provided at the bottom of |
| the wizard to save the password between sessions. <br> |
| </p> |
| <p style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><img alt="Save passwords prompt" src="../images/Image83_cvs_savedpasswords.png"> |
| </p> |
| <p>In previous releases, passwords were automatically saved between sessions whereas |
| now you have full control over this behavior. To persist login credentials in |
| a safe, encrypted form <a href="../reference/ref-securestorage-start.htm">Secure Storage</a> is now used.</p> |
| <p>You can manage the list of passwords that have been saved via the |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.equinox.security.ui.storage)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.svg" alt="command link"> |
| <strong>General > Security > Secure Storage</strong></a> preference page. |
| The page displays the currently saved passwords and allows you to clear or delete them all.</p> |
| <p>As an alternative you can use |
| <a href="tasks-cvs-ssh2.htm">keypair authentication</a> provided by the <em>extssh</em> |
| connection method.</p> |
