I apologize if this is the wrong place to post.  I couldn't seem to find
a category that specifically had to do security so I thought I would
post here.
Basically, I have a plugin that needs to store login credentials to an
external site. Right now I am storing the username and a password in an
object in clear text, which is obviously not secure. I was wondering if
anyone knew of a secure way to store a username an password pair in an
encrypted form and then decrypt it on the fly when it needs to make a
connection to the external site. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Andy
