Password Service Encryption used in Cisco Switches

[inhamit]

Hi, How can I check that which password service encryption is used in switch while configuring the password?

Or Which password encryption is enabled or disabled to verify the encryption?

[MHM Cisco World]

 service password-encryption command  (this command for encrypt the any password which is clear text in show running )

In my lab I share enable and password of username before and after service password encryption 

[inhamit]

yes, Thanks.

Is there any way I can check that CISCO 7 password encryption is disabled from the command line?

Hi, As I see on the running config, No service password encryption is enabled.

I can see that enable secret and username password are encrypted with cisco 9 algorithm.

Hi @inhamit 

 The password affect by the commamd "service password-encryption" will obscure the enable password, any password you assigned to users on the device and the password on the line con and like vty.

However, the service password encryption obscure with MD7 which is easy to revert.

 Enable secret use MD5 and it is not possible to revert.
