)

key: The unique name of the credentials stored
account: The account name to be stored encrypted
password: The password to be stored encrypted.

Return Value

True if the credentials existed and were updated, false if they did not previously exist.

Remarks

Passwords are stored on the server using the ProtectedData class to encrypt them such that they can only be decrypted on the same computer. Therefore they are transported unencrypted from the client to the server. If the server connection uses SSL then it is encrypted during transport.
