One more try for #10 and #11. The actual implementation is 45500ac

Just so that I am clear about what this code is doing, can you explain what problem this fixes. I have never used the WCM api before.

WCM API provides apps an OS level secure vault ( something more or less like Key Chain in Mac OSX) service to store and retreive credentials. Instead of using your own encryption and secure storage methods you can rely on WCM.
