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
