What is the most appropriate way to store user settings in Android application

Question

I am creating an application which connects to the server using username/password and I would like to enable the option \"Save password\" so the user wouldn\'t have to type

Answer 1

First of all I think User's data shouldn't be stored on phone, and if it is must to store data somewhere on the phone it should be encrypted with in the apps private data. Security of users credentials should be the priority of the application.

The sensitive data should be stored securely or not at all. In the event of a lost device or malware infection, data stored insecurely can be compromised.
