Usage Information
By default, the service password-encryption command stores encrypted passwords. For greater security,
you can also use the service obscure-passwords command to prevent a user from reading the passwords
and keys, including RADIUS, TACACS+ keys, router authentication strings, VRRP authentication by obscuring this
information. Passwords and keys are stored encrypted in the conguration le and by default are displayed in the
encrypted form when the conguration is displayed. Enabling the
service obscure-passwords command
displays asterisks instead of the encrypted passwords and keys. This command prevents a user from reading these
passwords and keys by obscuring this information with asterisks.
