EditTextPreferences are designed to take in only one string at a time. So you can't take in a username and a password at the same time (unless you're willing to do something like make the user enter it in a particular manner, and then parse it, which is kind of absurd). Another way is to simply use a custom Preference and make it input two strings via two EditTexts. However, the bottom line is that it is unintuitive to use a single Preference to change two settings. (I hope this wasn't too long to read)
