App Password for Windows Store App

Question

I'm developing an App which should have a Login, so the user has to authenticate itself every time he uses the app. The app should not require the user to have an connection to the network; the password is device/user-specific.

Is there a common way how to save the password?

Thank you for that! I saw the PasswordVault before, problem would be that anyone could open the credential manager from control panel. So the app would be open to anyone knowing this. – landi Apr 29 '13 at 14:43
Then you can user Cryptography. Save password in Local Setting in encrypted form. I have updated the answer. – Farhan Ghumra Apr 29 '13 at 15:01
