Seems like the best place to store your username and password, and its also very easy to do, is in the keychain.

this creates a new keychain named “MyApplicationName”, the account is “johnny.h” and the password is “JsPassword”

set userNm to “johnny.h”
set pass to “JsPassword”
tell application “Keychain Scripting” to make new generic key at current keychain with properties {name:“MyApplicationName”, account:userNm, password:pass}

Assuming you’ve already made the keychain entry, this will then let you get the username and password you’ve stored in that keychain. You’ll end up with the variables userNm and pass set appropriately.

tell application “Keychain Scripting” to set {username, password} to {account, password} of (first key whose name is “MyApplicationName”) of current keychain

It’s also good to point out that using the Keychain is secure.
