Build Identifier: 20100617-1415 I set up a new JIRA task repository in Mylyn, which prompted me "Please enter a new master password for the secure storage". I did so, but now every time I start eclipse I have to enter this password. This is hugely annoying, and it appears I can't save the password for the JIRA repository without secure storage. Please can you provide a way of me not having to enter any passwords at any point - I just want to save the password and that's that, not have to enter passwords all the time. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a new JIRA task repository in Mylyn 2. Check "Save Password" box 3. Click "Validate Settings" 4. Enter password twice in "Please enter a new master password for the secure storage" box 5. Restart Eclipse 6. Password prompt appears 7. Frustrated user
Forgot to mention - I looked through Window > Preferences > General > Security > Secure Storage - I managed to disable "UI Prompt" but JIRA failed to log me in when I disabled that. None of the other tabs seem to do anything useful.
We don't have a native OS integration for Linux available yet; the bug 234509 proposes to add one for cases where Gnome keyring is available. For your immediate troubles, you can do multiple things: - delete secure storage through Secure Storage preferences page -> Content tab -> Delete button; then don't use it (don't save passwords) - delete current secure storage as specified above, then use the password file runtime option"-eclipse.password <file path>", see "Secure storage runtime options" in the Eclipse help. In this case, of course, anybody who can read your password file potentially can get all the stored passwords. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 234509 ***
