Well i actually need to be able to have the username and password in the application somewhere so it can be used by the application when ever it needs, the password its self it taken out of the keychain and then stored in a NSString (I would assume someone COULD read the ram)


Yes, you should read the Authorization Services documentation. You do not need to store this information.


But since my application is a small user database i did not concern about security in such matters, unless there is some way of storing the password for use whenever the application needs it and keeping it secure

A small user base is no reason to go with a bad security model.
