Usage guidelines
If none of the parameters is specified or the device operates in FIPS mode, you enter the interactive mode
to set a plaintext password.
In non-FIPS mode, a non-password-protected user passes authentication if the user provides the correct
username and passes attribute checks. To enhance security, configure a password for each local user. In
FIPS mode, only password-protected users can pass authentication.
Device management users support plaintext and hashed passwords. For security purposes, all passwords,
including passwords configured in plain text, are saved in hashed text.
