A very easy solution via Keychains.

It's a simple wrapper for the system Keychain. Just add the SSKeychain.h, SSKeychain.m, SSKeychainQuery.h and SSKeychainQuery.m files to your project and add the Security.framework to your target.

To save a password:

[SSKeychain setPassword:@"AnyPassword" forService:@"AnyService" account:@"AnyUser"]

To retrieve a password:

NSString *password = [SSKeychain passwordForService:@"AnyService" account:@"AnyUser"];

Where setPassword is what value you want saved and forService is what variable you want it saved under and account is for what user/object the password and any other info is for.
