I add a new Package Source pointing to a myget.org url :

http://www.myget.org/F/myfeed/

VS > Tools > Library Package Manager > Manage NuGet Packages for Solution...

I am now prompted for myget credentials. Obviously, it will be inconvenient for developers to have to manually enter credentials every time they work with myget packages.

This blog explains how to store credentials in the machine-level NuGet.config :

but after I follow the steps, VS still prompts me for credentials.

One approach is to use the sources command:

nuget.exe sources Add|Update -Name feedName -UserName user -Password secret

With this you can either add that source with the credentials or update an existing one. It works perfectly.
