Pankajkumar Patel · Answer

Hi Kiran Kumar, Windows Authentication in SQL Server, also known as integrated security, relies on the user's existing Windows credentials to authenticate with the SQL Server instance. This means the user doesn't need to provide separate SQL Server login credentials; SQL Server leverages the Windows authentication token to grant access. Hope this will help you!
