You could store the userID/Password in encrypted form. At least nobody could
copy/paste the credentials and access via a login window. However, the
application could decrypt and access. This is in addition to restricting
access to the file as mentioned earlier.

Subject: protecting the property file
Since property file sometime contains generic userID/password, I just
wonder how one prevents user from viewing the property file and at the
same time allow that application to access it.
