If you use forms authentication (i persume),then credentials are stored in a
cookie, which can be persistent or not. If it is not persistent, then
authentication cookie is cleared when you logout (or if i time-outs). If it
is persistent then it is saved localy. Cookie security in your application
(encryption). Normaly you encrypt auth cookie.

Hope I answered you question.
