with windows authentication u can logon using the windows credentials and with the other you need to provide the sql server username and password

Back in the old days, SQL Server had its own method of authentication and did not rely on having a domain to validate against.  If you use SQL Authentication, a single user name and password will allow anyone to connect to the server that knows the password.
