How to make Egit remember password and username?

Posted 2021-03-02 kungfupanda

1. Go to the Git Perspective -> Expand your Project -> Expand Remotes -> Expand the remote you want to save your password.
2. Right-click on the Fetch or Push -> Select Change Credentials...
3. Enter username and password -> Select Ok

This is the workaround I‘ve found to work. It‘s a bit manual for each Git project, but it works ^_
