It's 'Desktop.Passwords'.

To store a password:

Desktop.Passwords[Key] = Password

To retrieve a password:

Password = Desktop.Passwords[Key]

The key is local to your application, i.e. the application name is 
internally "added" (it's not exactly that) to the key.

It can fail for a lot of reason. On Gnome desktops, it relies on an 
external tool that is not necessarily installed on your system.

Which error do you get -exactly- ?
