    Protecting Passwords and the like

    Since its fairly easy to see strings and such that are stored in your code, how is everyone storing their private info like passwords and such? I'm not that familiar with encryption really. I can encrypt/decrypt things using the CryptStream and what not but where do I store my private key?

    What methods are other people using?

    Where or How?

    Yes but if I just put it in a file and encrypt it where/how do I store the encryption key for it? Its a cycle, somewhere there has to be a key stored that doesn't need a key to get.
