Passwords or credential information are not cached ?

[Eman Alfaour]

in Jira service management regardless of the hosting option are Passwords or credential information cached ? or not cached ?

What exactly do you mean by "cached"?

The password hashes (Jira never stores a password, because you shouldn't do it in anything other than a password safe) or credentials are used to authorise a "session", so in that sense, they are cached, you couldn't use a system that doesn't do something like that (imagine having to enter your password on every click)
