Storing SFDC User Name & Password

I need to securely store a SFDC user name and password in a script so that it can run on an automated basis.  Does anyone have a recommended best practice on how to do this?  I'm using VB.NET.

Thanks!

Hi ASmith,

The user name does not need to be strored encrypted as it is typically an email address.  You can store it encrypted though along with the password.  .Net has crypto libraries that can do this for you.  Do a search on encrypt in the MSDN library for more info.
