Enabling empty password logins

By default, empty password logins are not allowed. This means that users with an SSH client are always prompted for a password when they log into the device. To gain access to the device, each user must have a user name and password. Without a user name and password, a user is not granted access.

If you enable empty password logins, users are not prompted for a password when they log in. Any user with an SSH client can log in without being prompted for a password.

To enable empty password logins, enter the following command.

device(config)#ip ssh permit-empty-passwd yes

Syntax: ip ssh permit-empty-passwd { no | yes }
