what? password changes by itself?

[ladybug]

so I am creating a new user for my database and this is my password when I created it

 

 

this is after I create the user and then open it again.

 

WTF? Self-changing password. Local SQL Express server.

It's hashing the password / hiding it to not expose the length of the password, it's not actually changing it.

To add on to @Lurick's response. They do this for security purposes. Now that I know your password is 8 characters long that makes it a lot easier to figure out what your password is.

 

Passwords get obfuscated this way so in the event that you screenshot/share screen or if you have anyone in the nearby who might see your screen... it's a lot harder to make a guess as to what that password may be.
