Enable Password vs Enable Secret command on cisco routers/switches

We all know that enable password is used to change from user mode to priviledge mode.

Enable password command will configure the password in unencrypted form whereas Enable secret command encrypts the password using MD5 hashing algorithm.

Enable secret command is always recommended.

Secret password will take precedence over enable password command.
