We don’t use NSUserDefaults in the app. Instead we have an NSMutableDictionary
that holds the settings, and we write them to a file when they change. We read
them in at app startup.
That allows us to actually have different settings for various items (these are

And if you want a nice simple HMAC256 encoding class to make the results
securer if you want, I’ll happily toss one your way.
