maybe not sure what your customer is asking for ? my guess is he is looking enable secret.

#enable secret 

 8      Specifies a PBKDF2 HASHED secret will follow
  9      Specifies a SCRYPT HASHED secret will follow

Hi Bala,

Nipper Studio recommends that all user passwords should be stored using newer hashing algorithms, such as Cisco Type-8 (PBKDF2) or Type-9 (SCRYPT).

Above ask is from customer. can you please help me regarding config.

Thanks!!
