I do not believe it is possible. You do not provide credentials to
SVN, it asks for them when it needs them. I cannot think of any place
where you could then query what it used.

The value you were retrieving is a holdover to an early version of
Subclipse where you had to specify your credentials for each
repository location. This was removed before 1.0 but some of the code
was left in for backwards compat.
