Write a data storage class like this:
LoginInfo.as
---------------
public class LoginInfo
{
public static var username:String;
public static var password:String;
}
In your LoginPopup component, import LoginInfo and do something like like
LoginInfo.username = usernameTextInput.text;
when the popup is closed.
Static vars simply live in the class itself, not in an instance of the class.
You can reference them from anywhere.

Thanks Gordan. Using the first option worked. I am also interested in the
second option but am not certain where to start. Could you provide a little
more detail?
Thanks,
