NSUserDefaults to Store login Cookie?

Question

I use NSUserDefaults to store parameters.

What is the size of data I can store in the user default? Is it a good place to store the login cookie?

Take a look at this previously asked question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4597763/persisting-cookies-in-an-ios-application — Daehn, Jun 23 '15 at 21:39

First of all theres no space limit when storing into NSUserDefaults (obviously the device capacity).

Now about the cookie thats very confusing, if you are talking about store a bool to say if the user is registered or not UserDefaults is perfectly adaptable/applicable.

I want to store a cookie retrieved from the server to access the backend without login again. – stephan1002 Jun 23 '15 at 21:47
In that case take a look into Daehn's link, you can Archieve the cookie into NSDATA and store that NSData into Defaults. – Karlo A. López Jun 23 '15 at 21:49

You can also store the password in nsuserdefaults, but, depending on how important/secure you want your app to be you must use an encription, external library for passwords such as GSKeychain or even the iOS KeyChain services. – Karlo A. López Jun 24 '15 at 00:11
