Best way to implement "Remember Me" check box in WinForms / WPF

Question

I want to add a "Remember Me" check box to the login form of my WPF App. What's the best way to do this?

Currently the app logs in via a websevice call that returns an authenticated token that it uses for subsequent calls. Should I simply two-way encrypt and store this token somewhere in the files system?

Answer 1

You could also store it in Isolated Storage or create a User setting in your application's Settings.

Edit: Oren's suggestion of using DPAPI to protect information is well and good, but it doesn't store anything:

An important point to remember is that DPAPI merely applies cryptographic protection to the data. It does not store any of the protected data; therefore applications calling DPAPI must implement their own storage of the protected data.

Answer 2

Use the DPAPI. See also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40853/how-to-store-passwords-in-winforms-application#40867.
