Question

I need to save User Name and Password in NSUserDefault. I am planning to place a round rect button in IB. On pressing of which the User name and Password would be saved in NSUserDefault, so that when user kills the application and tries to login again after some time, they do not need to enter their login details again.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks and best regards,

For Saving Username and Password I will personally suggest to use Keychain as they are more safer than NSUserDefault in terms of security since Keychain stores data in encrypted form while NSUserDefault stores as plain text. If you still want to use NSUserDefault Here’s the way

FOR SAVING

NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

// saving an NSString
[prefs setObject:txtUsername.text forKey:@"userName"];
[prefs setObject:txtPassword.text forKey:@"password"];

 [prefs synchronize];

FOR RETRIEVING

NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

// getting an NSString
NSString *savedUsername = [prefs stringForKey:@"userName"];
NSString *savedPassword = [prefs stringForKey:@"password"];
