Do you store passwords in database?
The password entered by user is concatenated with a random generated salt as well as a static salt. The concatenated string is passed as the input of hashing function. The result obtained is stored in database. Dynamic salt is required to be stored in the database since it is different for different users.

How to use Secure Store with SQL Server Authentication?

How is the authentication password in SQL Server?
Regardless of whether or not the login or connection is encrypted, the SQL authentication password is always obfuscated but the scrambling is easily reversible. The credentials are sent in clear text. “Secure the channel between the Web server and database server because credentials are passed in an unencrypted format.
What makes SQL Server less secure than Windows?
Windows accounts use a series of encrypted messages to authenticate to SQL Server; no passwords are passed across the network during the authentication process. When SQL logins are used, SQL login passwords are passed across the network for authentication. This makes SQL logins less secure than Windows logins.
Are there any unencrypted SQL server logins?
Whether or not the login credentials are encrypted depends on the encryption capability/configuration of the client and server. At the protocol level, completely unencrypted SQL logins are allowed, though my guess is that these are rare because I suspect most modern database drivers do not support them.
