1- The information is stored in /opt/nessus/var/nessus/users/"name_of_user"
2- what do you mean about "plain text" ?
     The CLI uses, with the -c option, a .nessusrc file that can be 
generated by NessusClient.
     If there is no -c option, it create or uses the .nessusrc file, 
where you can check the options/plugins used.
     All these files are "plain text".

 I installed nessus on Ubuntu and then added users (nessus-adduser).

 Where is this information stored?

 I'm using the command line interface and am concerned about how it
 uses plain text:

 nessus -V -q 127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1> 1241 user plaintextpassword
 targetsfile outputfile
