    In Windows mode, you can only login through your Windows account. You cannot login using SQL Server logins (passing login name and password), such as "sa".

    I prefer to run in Windows Only mode, but in reality it is rare to not have some appfor which I have to use SQL Server logins, for one reason or another.

    SQL server support SQL & windows two authentication types. Windows authentication mode supports only windows authentication and Mixed mode support both SQL & windows authentication.

    It always good to use windows authentication mode because Windows Authentication is trusted as username and password are checked with the Active Directory, the SQL Server authentication is untrusted as it handle by SQL Server.
