Hi - can anyone tell me if/how the local admin password on FTD devices is encrypted?
Is there any way to validate this (either way) via the CLI or FMC?
Many thanks

On IOS devices you can see the password encryption type e.g. 5, 7, 9 etc.
How is the password encrypted on a FTD device and how can this be demonstrated/viewed?
Thanks

AES128, AES192, AES256, 3DES, or DES. |
as I think there is not type like what we find in SW and router, in FPR there is algorithm as shown above.

Thanks - but how can this be demonstrated via command line or configuration setting? Is there cisco documentation I cant find?

That is a good question and I don't have an accurate answer to it, however, I believe the FTD relies on the underlying operating system to hash the admin password which is Linux. The recent releases of Linux would use SHA512 to hash the users passwords.
