I looked at using KeychainItemWrapper (the ARC version) but I didn't find its Objective C wrapper as wholesome as desired.

I used this solution by Kishikawa Katsumi, which meant I wrote less code and didn't have to use casts to store NSString values.

Two examples of storing:

[UICKeyChainStore setString:@"kishikawakatsumi" forKey:@"username"];
[UICKeyChainStore setString:@"P455_w0rd$1$G$Z$" forKey:@"password"];

Two examples of retrieving

UICKeyChainStore *store = [UICKeyChainStore keyChainStore];
    // or
UICKeyChainStore *store = [UICKeyChainStore keyChainStoreWithService:@"YOUR_SERVICE"];

NSString *username = [store stringForKey:@"username"];
NSString *password = [store stringForKey:@"password"];
