Okay, I think I've got this. TACACS+ encrypts the username and password, while RADIUS encrypts just the password. I'll make sure to remember that for the exam.

I bet the answer is B, but I'm also curious if TACACS+ encrypts the password with a secret handshake and a decoder ring. Just kidding, but seriously, encryption is important in these networking protocols.

This is a tough one, but I'm leaning towards B. TACACS+ is the more secure option, encrypting both the username and password. RADIUS is just playing it safe with the password.

I think the answer is A. TACACS+ only encrypts the password, while RADIUS encrypts both the username and password.
MA

I think the answer is B. TACACS+ encrypts the username and password, while RADIUS only encrypts the password. It makes sense that the more secure protocol would encrypt everything.
AU

Brynn: Yes, that's right. RADIUS encrypts only the password for authentication.
VI
Vilma
