It may be that the password won't be sent in clear, but the local
networking API needs the password (for example, NSURLConnection
supports HTTP digest auth, but you have to give it the actual password.)
Agreed, you should totally use the keychain. That's exactly what it's
for.
It sounds like what you really want is the Keychain, which it would
be nice to have a clean Objective-C API for (and for which I think
someone has created one as Open Source).
Wade Tregaskis's Keychain.framework is Da Bomb, yo.
