title: Username and Password data Windows phone 8 app
body: <p>I am writing a Windows phone 8 app that is using an API to pull in some data that the app will need and to use the api, a username and password is required.  I have been supplied with this username and password and it seems to work, however I am wondering what is the correct way to use this with an app?</p>
  
  <p>Can I simply add something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>string userName = "username";
  string passWord = "password";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And then just pass those into the <code>WebRequest</code> when needed?  Or is there some special way I should store this information in the app?</p>
  
  <p>Just to be clear, the users won't need their own Username or password, this generic one should work.</p>
