Another way to protect the data could be to Hash it.
This is a very effective way of protecting information, as you get the
same result every time you Hash a given value, but it is impossible to
reverse.
Your cookie would contain something like "user1={Hash of
password},user2={Hash of password}"

Like the others that have responded I ponder over what it is you are
actually doing but to answer the question in general what you need to do
is put all of the info you need to store in an array or structure and
then make the whole thing into a WDDX packet, which is a string and so
can be put into a cookie.
