Retrieving userpassword from Secure Preferences #83

In v0.1.4, we use val prefs = SecurePreferences(context, "userpassword", "my_user_prefs.xml") to store the user's password which is "userpassword". How do we retrieve this value for authentication purposes?

It is not used to store the user_password int he sharedPreferences. You are passing the user_password as the Key to the SecuredPreferences method and using the user_password as the key it will encrypt the shared preferences file.
