changes to enable password and username commands in version 16 code

Question. Can anyone point me in the direction of documentation around the deprecation of formats for the username and enable password formats? I am starting to configured a new 9300 series switch running version 16 code and when I past in my standard config I get a warning on both my enable password line and all my user name lines. The enable password comes back with the warning about me entering the password with type 0 and an unencrypted password. The Username warning complains about the type 7 when I past them in. Both messages say I need to migrate to a supported password type. I just do not know where to go see what the new supported type should be. I though it might just be a format type things as all the same commands are there but that did not seem to matter.

There is a change.  Have a look at this link:

Password type 0 and 7 are replaced with password type 8 and type 9 respectively. So password type 0 and 7, which were used for administrator login to the console, Telnet, SSH, webUI, and NETCONF must be migrated to password type 8 or 9.
