I was going to store a password in my Cocoa application in the NSUserDefaults but then I realized that it is stored in plain text.

Encrypt it with BCrypt first.

I have an open source BCrypt utility class if you're interested...

Passwords should be stored in the Keychain. You should probably look at the Keychain Services Programming Guide to begin with. The Keychain exists on both iOS and OS X platforms.
