I don't know the Java functions you're asking about.  Looks like it's
decrypting a file?

It's not possible to securely store the password.  If a program can
decrypt the file, then a program can decrypt the file.  Unless you want
to go for a very narrow definition of "securely store".

Windows has a facility for "secured storage" that becomes accessible
when the user logs in.  It's used for storing sensitive information,
like other passwords.  It's theoretically good for protecting your info
when the machine is off, or a different user is logged in.
