Question

I want to save the content of TextFields in plist with corresponding Key-Values pair.
Like Password field should be saved with the Key-Password and Value-(entered in textField).

How can I do that?

and want to access it in some other class. Can I do it? If yes, then how?

Adding Stuff into plist is easy. Full working code follows which adds a persons contact info into a plist –

// get paths from root direcory
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains (NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
// get documents path
NSString *documentsPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
// get the path to our Data/plist file
NSString *plistPath = [documentsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Data.plist"];

// set the variables to the values in the text fields
self.personName = nameEntered.text;
self.phoneNumbers = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:3];
[phoneNumbers addObject:homePhone.text];
[phoneNumbers addObject:workPhone.text];
[phoneNumbers addObject:cellPhone.text];

// create dictionary with values in UITextFields
NSDictionary *plistDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects: [NSArray arrayWithObjects: personName, phoneNumbers, nil] forKeys:[NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"Name", @"Phones", nil]];

NSString *error = nil;
// create NSData from dictionary
NSData *plistData = [NSPropertyListSerialization dataFromPropertyList:plistDict format:NSPropertyListXMLFormat_v1_0 errorDescription:&error];

// check is plistData exists
if(plistData) 
{
    // write plistData to our Data.plist file
    [plistData writeToFile:plistPath atomically:YES];
}
else
{
    NSLog(@"Error in saveData: %@", error);
    [error release];
}
