Enable secret has a much stronger encryption.
The enable password has a 2-way encryption, meening you can get the
clear-text password back from the encrypted one. This is (allmost)
impossible with the enable secret option.
Bottom line: don't use the enable password, use enable secret. The enable
password is only there for backward compatibility-reasons.

Subject: Enable Secret & Enable Password
I know "enable secret" will encrypt the password automatically as compared
to "enable password". Apart from this, what is the difference between
"enable secret" and "enable password"?
Thanks.
