Use of Type 7 Passwords
Originally designed in order to allow quick decryption of stored passwords, Type 7 passwords are not a secure form of password storage. There are many tools available that can easily decrypt these passwords. The use of Type 7 passwords should be avoided unless required by a feature that is in use on the Cisco IOS device.

Type 9 (scrypt) should be used whenever possible:

username <username> privilege 15 algorithm-type scrypt secret <secret>
