NSUserDefaults Security Issue - iOS

Some developers don’t prefer to save data in the Keychain because it is not that straightforward to implement . However, saving info in the Keychain is probably the most secure way of storing data on a non-jailbroken device. Basically, the code for saving data in the keychain is just like saving data with NSUserDefaults with this wrapper. Here is a snippet of code that saves a string to the keychain. Notice that the syntax looks very similar to using NSUserDefaults.

And here is a small snippet for fetching data from the keychain.

1 2	PDKeychainBindings *bindings = [PDKeychainBindings sharedKeychainBindings]; NSLog(@"Auth token is %@",[bindings objectForKey:@"authToken"]]);
