Storing iOS app's user password and username

Question

I am using a SQLite database to build an iOS app. Which is the best way to store username and password: in the database or the Keychain? Also, if I store any data in database how can I make it secure like the keychain?

Answer 1

Keychain is better. However, we recommend that you don't save the password. You should always save the hash value and compare the hashes to see if the login is correct!

Answer 2

Keychain is the best option to save any kind of passwords. Use library SSKeychain which is a light weight wrapper for keychain.
