I am a bit paranoid about saving secure data (username/passwords) on plain text files such as plist files or NSUserDefaults.

Apple provides Keychain services to store secure data. It is slightly complicated, view the documentation Keychain Services Tasks for iPhone OS

They also provide Generic Keychain app to explore.
