Hi,

I have created password for MasterKey as below :

SQL

USE TestDB;
GO
CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'password123;
GO

Now, at later stage is there any way to find out later what is the passowrd value for the SecureSymmetricKey ?

It would not be very secure if there was such a method.

yes that's right Richard but if someone forgot or not taken any backup so is there any provision to retrieve this password?
