Encrypt credentials for Wordpress XML-RPC API call

I'm planning to use Wordpress' XML-RPC API but this requires me to store plain text username/password.

Is there a way to get a token from the Wordpress server so that I can store that instead of credentials to the db? Or securely encrypt the password before adding it to the db?

I'm using this PHP library.
