body: <p>Is there an equivalent to iOS's Keychain on Android?</p>
  <p>My understanding of the <strong>Preferences API</strong> is that it is not encrypted. For my application it doesn't matter whether these credentials are persisted across devices (i.e. a different use-case to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2411281/iphone-like-keychain-in-android">iPhone-like Keychain in Android?</a>)</p>
  <p>I also looked at the <strong>KeyStore API</strong> but it seems to leave the actual storage of user credentials up to the application developer.</p>
