Description
Use the password command to configure a password for a local user and specify whether to display the
password in cipher text or plain text.
Use the undo password command to delete the password of a local user.
If you configure the local-user password-display-mode cipher-force command, all existing local user
passwords will be displayed in cipher text, regardless of the configuration of the password command. If
you also save the configuration and restart the device, all existing local user passwords will always be
displayed in cipher text, no matter how you configure the local-user password-display-mode command or
the password command. The passwords configured after you restore the display mode to auto by using
the local-user password-display-mode auto command, however, are displayed as defined by the
password command.
With the cipher keyword specified, a password of up to 16 characters in plain text will be encrypted into
a password of 24 characters in cipher text, and a password of 16 to 63 characters in plain text will be
encrypted into a password of 88 characters in cipher text. For a password of 24 characters, if the system
can decrypt the password, the system treats it as a password in cipher text. Otherwise, the system treats it
as a password in plain text.
Related commands: display local-user.
