NSUserDefaults or keychain is better to save username and password in iPhone app

Question

In my iphone app there is some confidential data like username, password and some urls to a webservice. Which one is better NSUserdefaults or keychain. Somebody says NSUser

Answer 1

NSUserDefaults is quite easy to use and stores one value per key only. But apparently, it is not a very secure method, as there is no encryption.

But the Keychain is secure, though it is a bit hard to code. You can refer these link to use keychain access.
