Recover SVN password from local cache

Question

is there a way to recover a password from local cache? The password has to be stored somewhere because I can run

svn co http://my.svn.server/foo

Answer 1

For those interested in the OS X solution for apps like Intelli-J where authorizations are stored by OSX:

1. Hit CMD+SPACE
2. Type "keychain"
3. Open keychain access
4. Under "Keychains" on the left, choose "login"
5. Under "Category" on the right, choose "All items"
6. At the top right in the search box, type in the the host URL (e.g. svn.mycompany.com)
7. Your keychain item will show if you chose to have your Mac remember your login credentials.
8. Double click the item and check the "Show password" checkbox at the bottom of the dialog that pops up. You will have to enter your Mac login to reveal the password.

Much easier than having to try to decrypt a password :-)
