Actually, it's losing the credentials even without closing PHPStorm. Just asked me for the credentials in the middle of working on something.

What DB source do you sue? Can you restart IDE, reproduce the issue and attach the log file?
I don't really believe, but maybe File | invalidate caches would work?

MySQL, but it's so inconsistent. Worked fine all day yesterday. This morning, I opened PHPStorm and the credentials were gone. This is what the dataSources.local.xml file looked like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project version="4">
  <component name="dataSourceStorageLocal">
    <data-source name="PRIDE" uuid="7036f377-4a66-4680-a2cc-3283bd8d7b22">
    </data-source>
  </component>
</project>

And so I added the credentials and this is what it looked like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project version="4">
  <component name="dataSourceStorageLocal">
    <data-source name="PRIDE" uuid="7036f377-4a66-4680-a2cc-3283bd8d7b22">
      <secret-storage>master_key</secret-storage>
      <user-name>xxxxx</user-name>
    </data-source>
  </component>
</project>

Hi,

Sorry for the delay, I was out of office. Is issue still reproducible with the latest EAP?

I just checked and yes, my credentials are gone again:

I synchronize my project with SugarSync. Maybe something is happening there. I'm testing that now. I added my credentials, closed PHPStorm, let SugarSync complete, opened PHPStorm on my other computer and credentials are still there. Now, I might not have actually re-entered my credentials in this latest EAP, so we can give it a few days and check again.

The "Remember password" checkbox controls where password is actually stored.

• Checked: IDE-scoped password database protected by master password
• Unchecked: memory only, cleaned on some timeout
• Crossed-out: for legacy data-sources password is slightly encoded dataSources.local.xml which is in VCS ignore list by default

Normally, I check the box (I actually forgot today.)

So, I haven't really been using it (paying attention) in a few days, and suddenly, I notice the credentials are gone again. Also, even the cached schema information disappears when this happens (is that normal? If so why?)

This is not normal. Please see if .idea/dataSource.local.xml and .idea/dataSource.ids files are present.

If they are not please see if they correctly appears after you set up credentials / loaded schema on IDE "Save All".

And don't forget to include your product version / build number.
This is really-really helpful, because some stuff may break between certain EAPs.
Please see http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-123489 .

Yes, both of those files are present after this occurs (I checked.)

PS-138.256 currently, but this has been going on since the structure of this changed and PHPStorm began using the file: .idea/dataSource.local.xml (whatever version that was.)

http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-123489 is either not a valid issue # or somehow I'm blocked from that page:

I've opened the ticket for public. But seems to be you already have the build with the fix.
Please confirm that credentials keep disappearing.

This occurred as recently as 2 days ago on the current EAP.

Still happening. Just today, lost credentials on 2 different machines. Also, http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-123489 is not resolved. This happens as well - not every time, but from time to time
.

Created and issue: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-24047

Thank you. Youtrack is a better place to discuss this problem.
