Author Single login, multiple passwords

Is it at all possible to have a single login have multiple passwords?
We are using sql authentication.
We run multiple applications with different db's. For each appl, a
administrator can add users and assign passwords. If the login already
exists, the admin. wants to add the user with a newly specified password, but
it shoud still allow the passwords assigned previously. The only way I can
think of, is to use a single login to log onto the server, and then verify
user credentials programmatically against the database. Is there a way that
SQL Server can handle this??
Please help.
Thanks

Hi,

We can have only one password for 1 user. I recommend you have different
logins and users.

Other alternative is handle the application authentication by creating a new
table for application users.

Thanks
