Description
Without passwords on user accounts, one level of complexity is removed from gaining access to the network device. If a default userid has not been changed or is guessed by an attacker, the network could be easily compromised as the only remaining step would be to crack the password. Sharing group accounts on any device is strictly prohibited. If these group accounts are not changed when someone leaves the group, that person could possibly gain control of the network device. Having group accounts does not allow for proper auditing of who is accessing or changing the network.
