SourceTree on Mac can't remember passwords

Question

I'm accessing a remote Mercurial repository over https using SourceTree on Mac. SourceTree is set to use the system mercurial (5.0).

Any time I access the repository, SourceTree prompts me for the password repeatedly. Although I have "Store Password in Keychain" checked, this apparently doesn't happen.

@bgannin Bumping this issue, as it still happening for helixteamhub.cloud in 4.0.1 (234), nearly one full year later.
The fact that just for pulling, it asks the password twice is a very big UX friction.

Is this issue fixed? I'm still getting this type of issue with v3.1.2

It's really annoying that I need to re-authenticate both my GitLab and GitHub accounts each time I re-open Sourcetree.

Hi @Peter Pebler,

Unfortunately I don't have an immediate answer to solve this problem. There are some underlying issues due to the complexity in the app's various authentication layers and the architecture as a whole is going to be revisited in a future release to definitively resolve issues such as the one you're encountering. Our apologies for the inconvenience, we appreciate your patience.
