Please check the svn --version command, it should say something like this towards the end of the output: [[[ The following authentication credential caches are available: * Plaintext cache in /home/dsg/.subversion * Gnome Keyring * GPG-Agent * KWallet (KDE) ]]] Viewing ~/.subversion/servers it seems like passwords should be stored by default. In ~/.subversion/config I have: password-stores = gpg-agent,gnome-keyring,kwallet However, when I try to do a checkout it continues to prompt me to enter my password, any idea what I'm doing wrong or how to determine why it's not working? Have you configured gnome keyring or kwallet? Are you using Subversion within a graphical session or through SSH? I think gnome keyring/kwallet are only available in graphical sessions. Where can I find the correct version of the docs for subversion 1.14.1 The default compile time configuration in Subversion 1.12 to 1.14 disables the plaintext cache (as you can see above, I have compiled my own version and enabled the plaintext cache). The FAQ explain this in more details. If you can accept the security implications of storing the password in plaintext there is a script available in the FAQ: https://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#plaintext-passwords Kind regards, Daniel Sahlberg
