Where are SQL Server user credentials stored?

Where are SQL Server us开发者_JAVA百科er name and password stored?

In the DB called "master", you can view them with:

SELECT * FROM master.sys.syslogins

However passwords are encrypted.

As per Richard's comment: please note that syslogins is no longer a physical table (in SQL server 2005 and 2008) but only a view provided for backwards compatibility.
