Currently only strings are supported.
You could store your username and password using

localStorage['username']='myusername';
localStorage['password']='mypassword';

and retrieve them using just

var username = localStorage['username'];
var password = localStorage['password'];

an alternative is to create a credentials object like this:

var credentials = {username:'myusername', password:'mypassword'};

since this is an object, jo have to stringify it in order to store it in localstorage

localStorage['credentials'] = JSON.stringify(credentials);

and to retrieve

var storedCredentials = JSON.parse(localStorage['credentials']);
