You can use wrapped Credential Management package. It's an open-source project. I checked it in Windows 7 and it works right.

In order to save your data use following code:

    Credential saved = new Credential("username", "password", "MyApp", CredentialType.Generic);
    saved.PersistanceType = PersistanceType.LocalComputer;
    saved.Save();

And to load your data use:

    Credential credential = new Credential { Target = "MyApp", Type = CredentialType.Generic };
    credential.Load();
