Hi Marc, You can do this using the OAuth authentication flow which you can find at http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth#intro
This may seem very much complicated for a simple application with only a few users (and static keys), and I agree. However, unless there is some service on the internet which simply allows you to get some keys in exchange for your username/password (and I do not know any), you will have to use this.
