Not sure what your problem is. If you're using http/https, then TSVN
automatically stores the username/password for you if you enable the
checkbox "save authentication" on the dialog asking you for
username/password. After you've entered that data once, it is stored
encrypted on the harddrive.

For svn+ssh connections however, TSVN or Subversion simply *can't* store
username/password, because it doesn't even see those.
Authentication/encryption is done by your ssh client alone. But in that
case, you could install a special ssh tool which stores that information
(don't know the name of it right now, but you'll find it on e.g. the
putty homepage).
