Yup, the returning of false was a bug and you'll find it fixed in a future
update.
Re: storing credentials. Is there any way you can get by without storing
the actual password? Perhaps use the password to get some token from the
service? If you absolutely have to store the password, I'd suggest at least
encrypting it with a key that's hard coded in your app (yes, this is still
not secure, but at least it won't be stored plaintext).
