Using Swift/CoreData to allow users to log in - error!

Hi all, I am building an app and I want to allow users to register, log in and log out of the app. This is the code I have:

@IBAction func registerButtonTapped(sender: AnyObject) {

    let userEmail = userEmailTextField.text
    let userPassword = userPasswordTextField.text
    let userConfirmPassword = confirmPasswordTextField.text

    if (userEmail.isEmpty || userPassword.isEmpty || userConfirmPassword.isEmpty) {

        displayMyAlertMessage("You haven't filled out all the fields.")
        return;

    }

    if (userPassword != userConfirmPassword) {

        displayMyAlertMessage("Passwords do not match.")
        return;


    }

    var appDel: AppDelegate = (UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as AppDelegate)
    var context:NSManagedObjectContext = appDel.managedObjectContext!

    var newUser = NSEntityDescription.insertNewObjectForEntityForName("Users", inManagedObjectContext: context) as NSManagedObject

    newUser.setValue(userEmail, forKey: "username")
    newUser.setValue(userPassword, forKey: "password")

    context.save(nil)

I am wondering how I can use the data I saved here and access it when I click the login button. I was using a different method for this earlier, but can someone help me figure out what to change? Here is my code for when a user clicks login:

@IBAction func loginButtonTapped(sender: AnyObject) {

    let userEmail = userEmailTextField.text
    let userPassword = userPasswordTextField.text

    let userEmailStored = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().stringForKey("userEmail")
    let userPasswordStored = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().stringForKey("userPassword")

    if (userEmailStored == userEmail && userPasswordStored == userPassword) {
        NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setBool(true, forKey: "isUserLoggedIn")
        NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().synchronize()
        self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
    }

    else {
        var failAlert = UIAlertController(title: "Alert", message: "Your username or password is incorrect.", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
        let okAction = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: nil)
        failAlert.addAction(okAction)
        self.presentViewController(failAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)

    }
