EclipsePassword ProtectionEclipse Problem Overview
Is it possible to disable completely the secure storage password of Eclipse? I am running Eclipse Helios on Windows 7.
Eclipse Solutions
Solution 1 - Eclipse
- Windows->preferences->then type "secure storage"
- In the Contents tab, select [Default Secure Storage].
- Click Delete.
- Let Eclipse restart.
Solution 2 - Eclipse
To disable the master password prompt you have to specifiy a file containing the password with -eclipse.password
, see Eclipse SDK Help and Bug 241223.
The complete procedure is as follows (this is on Linux, on Windows it should work as well if you change the paths):
-
Exit Eclipse
-
Delete the directory ~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.equinox.security
-
Create a text file containing your master password, e.g.
echo "secret" > ~/.eclipse/master
-
Add to the very top of eclipse.ini, found in the Eclipse program directory (as two lines, don't combine into one)
-eclipse.password /home/user/.eclipse/master
-
Start Eclipse again.
Solution 3 - Eclipse
Here's my solution in Nano.2 on Windows, and it's nice and easy and seems to be working:
- Window -> Preferences -> General -> Security -> Security Storage
- Password tab: in the Master password providers section, uncheck Windows Integration and UI Prompt
I also tried deleting the [Default Secure Storage] in the Contents tab like some other answers suggested, but this is not needed and it gets recreated upon restart anyways.
Solution 4 - Eclipse
You can now just delete it, assuming you don't need it for anything. Go to Window > Preferences > General > Security > Secure Storage and then click on the 'Contents' tab. If you click the Delete button and then restart Eclipse, you will no longer see the pop-up.
From what I understand, Secure Storage is mostly used with repositories like Git and SVN. In my case, I don't need it for my home computer. I use Git at work, but even so, I have never seen the Secure Storage pop up before.
Solution 5 - Eclipse
While opening the Eclipse or importing the project, you might get sometimes error called Salt must be 8 bytes long. This is because of conflicts between Java and OS key store.
Either of following are the solutions of this problem.
► Solution 1: Remove file <USERHOME>.eclipse\org.eclipse.equinox.security\secure_ storage from your system. After that please restart machine and try to use Eclipse***.
► Solution 2: Uncheck the Windows Integration (64 bit) and UI Prompt from Password tab of Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Security -> Secure Storage. After that please restart machine and try to use Eclipse.
► Solution 3: Delete [Default Secure Storage] from Contents tab of Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Security -> Secure Storage. After that please restart machine and try to use Eclipse.
Solution 6 - Eclipse
On Ubuntu 11.10 with Eclipse Indigo installed the folder org.eclipse.equinox.security is hidden in the /root/.eclipse folder. Do a
sudo su
cd /root/.eclipse
mv org.eclipse.equinox.security org.eclipse.equinox.security.backup
Then (re)start eclipse and the password will be gone.
Solution 7 - Eclipse
In windows 7 enerprise 64 bits + java 8 In eclipse go to :
Preferences
--> General
-> security
-> secure Storage.
In master Password providers UNCKECK Windows integration (64 bits)
Then go to General -- network connections -- proxy And edit your proxy settings. A wizard appear to create Secure Storage
