USER ACCESS COMMANDS
SERVICE
PASSWORD-ENCRYPTION
service password-encryption
Overview Use this command to enable password encryption. This is enabled by default.
When password encryption is enabled, the device displays passwords in the
running config in encrypted form instead of in plain text.
Use the no service password-encryption command to stop the device from
displaying newly-entered passwords in encrypted form. This does not change the
display of existing passwords.
NOTE: Do not use encrypted passwords for GUI users. The GUI requires unencrypted
user passwords only - not encrypted user passwords. Do not use option 8 for GUI users.
