    The answer is in Books Online:

    "Requires ALTER ANY LOGIN permission on the server. If the CREDENTIAL option is used, also requires ALTER ANY CREDENTIAL permission on the server."

    Creating a login requires permissions at the server level, it cannot be accomplished with database level permissions.
