Some days I go while i was learning about mercurial and TortoiseHG i made a mistake and now i have problems to save my credentials,
I tried change the next files with no good results:
-C:\Users\userA\mercurial.ini

[ui]
username=myuse@company.cl
password=xxxxxx

-C:\Users\userA\Mercurial-kiln.ini

[auth]
kiln.prefix=theurl
kiln.username=myuse@company.cl
kiln.username=xxxxxx

  • %myrepo%.hg\hgrc

    [ui]
    username=myuse@company.cl
    password=xxxxxx

    • ui section on global ini-file (mercurial.ini) is only your signature in commits, if not redefined later
    • auth section define authorization-data on some resource only
    • ui in hgrc redifine on per-repo basis data from p.1

    ui-data in your case is bad – you have to use username key with value Fname LName <e-mail>, i.e

    username = Firstname Lastname <firstname.lastname@example.net>

    and forget about any password here

    auth-section is also far from perfect

    • you redefine kiln.username instead of extending
    • no password (?)
