Passwords

  • Is there a way to view all user passwords

  • No. They are encrypted.

    What you can do, if necessary, is change them or delete them, if you have the rights to do so.

  • As Sara indicated, they are encrypted. They can be cracked, but usually there's not a need to see the passwords. If you want to transfer logins to another SQL Server, there is a way to do so without losing the password, such that the DBA doesn't ever have to know what the user's password was.
