There is build in mechanism in Idea platform.
You can read about it here: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/master/platform/credential-store/readme.md
You can access this classes with java stubs from solution MPS.IDEA, model com.intellij.credentialStore@java_stub.
There is com.intellij.ide.passwordSafe.PasswordSafe class with methods:
com.intellij.credentialStore.CredentialStore#get(@NotNull CredentialAttributes attributes)
com.intellij.credentialStore.CredentialStore#set(@NotNull CredentialAttributes attributes, @Nullable Credentials credentials)
Where CredentialAttributes contains your service name, user name, and class, while Credentials contains username and password.
