Are passwords for system users/roles stored in encrypted form in YugabyteDB YSQL and YCQL?

Question

When we create users/roles (see examples below) how are the passwords stored persistently? Are these stored in some encrypted form, and not as plain text?

# YSQL
CREATE USER tester WITH PASSWORD 'test_password';

or,

# YCQL
CREATE ROLE IF NOT EXISTS john WITH PASSWORD = 'test_password' AND LOGIN = true

Answer 1

For both APIs they are stored in an encrypted form.
