How do you store and HIDE information (such as passwords) so nobody can find/edit/delete/view them?


I don't. If "nobody"* can find/edit/delete/view some piece of information neither can your program.

By allowing your program access you must be open to the possibility that someone may be able to find/edit/delete/view the information. At this point your strategty must turn to minimising the risk of that happening.

In order to do that you need to know what the information is? why it needs to be hidden? What are legitimate reasons to edit it? What are legitimate reasons to delete it? What are legitimate reasons to view (read) it?

Information can be placed in many places: files, the registry, in a database, as an embedded resource in an assembly.

Information can be hidden by many techniques: encryption, steganography (placing it in highly unusual places, e.g. IP packet headers, in a picture or audio stream)
