How to store the password persistently?

every time the editor is restarted, I need to navigate over Project > Version Control > Version Control Settings and retype the password. as for me the point in using this plugin is to make my life easier I don't want to have to do that. other git clients also do not require this. I don't want to / am able to use SSH keys with the remote repository in question.

at the very least, instead of error when attempting to push after a restart, the user should be prompted with a password input form.
