When creating a repository location, an option is provided at the bottom of
the wizard to save the password between sessions.
In previous releases, passwords were automatically saved between sessions whereas now the user has full control over this behavior. There is a caveat to this though - the password file Eclipse uses to save the password between sessions is not very secure. It is difficult, but not impossible, for an intruder to read the file and find your passwords.
We recommend that, if you have strict security requirements, you style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">don't save passwords using this mechanism. Instead, use keypair authentication provided by the extssh connection method.
You can manage the list of passwords that have been cached via the Team > CVS > Password Management preference page. The page displays the currently saved passwords and allows you to delete them.
