#### PASSWORD ='password'
Specifies the password for the SQL login that is being created. Use a strong password. For more information, see [Strong Passwords](../../relational-databases/security/strong-passwords.md) and [Password Policy](../../relational-databases/security/password-policy.md). Beginning with [!INCLUDE [ssSQL11](../../includes/sssql11-md.md)], stored password information is calculated using SHA-512 of the salted password.

Passwords are case-sensitive. Passwords should always be at least eight characters long, and can't exceed 128 characters. Passwords can include a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and most nonalphanumeric characters. Passwords can't contain single quotes, or the *login_name*.
Passwords are case-sensitive. Passwords should always be at least fourteen (14) characters long, and can't exceed 128 characters. Passwords can include a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and most nonalphanumeric characters. Passwords can't contain single quotes, or the *login_name*.

#### SID = *sid*
Used to recreate a login. Applies to SQL Server authentication logins only, not Windows authentication logins. Specifies the SID of the new SQL Server authentication login. If this option isn't used, SQL Server automatically assigns a SID. The SID structure depends on the SQL Server version. For SQL Analytics, this is a 32 byte (**binary(32)**) literal consisting of `0x01060000000000640000000000000000` plus 16 bytes representing a GUID. For example, `SID = 0x0106000000000064000000000000000014585E90117152449347750164BA00A7`.
