If you already have a database and wanted to keep everything in the same
spot, setting up some sort of settings table there might make sense.
Otherwise, your use seems tailor-made for simple preferences.

SQLite has more flexible query paths. Preferences are just key-value
pairs. So, if you have 100 pieces of data and need to find a subset that
meets some criteria other than keys, you're probably better suited with
SQLite than stuffing those into preferences and having to sift through all
of them on each "query".

Not that I'm aware of. I think the Bouncy Castle crypto package is
included in the SDK, so you could encrypt values that you feel need
full-fledged encryption. For passwords, you might be able to get by with
just storing a hash of the password plus a salt.
