Description
Use the local-user password-display-mode command to set the password display mode for all local
users.
Use the undo local-user password-display-mode command to restore the default.
By default, the password display mode is auto.
If you configure the local-user password-display-mode cipher-force command, all existing local user
passwords will be displayed in cipher text, regardless of the configuration of the password command. If
you also save the configuration and restart the device, all existing local user passwords will always be
displayed in cipher text, no matter how you configure the local-user password-display-mode command
or the password command. The passwords configured after you restore the display mode to auto by
using the local-user password-display-mode auto command, however, are displayed as defined by the
password command.
Related commands: display local-user and password.
