Multiple console passwords?

prototype

I have not worked with routers in a long time, but my issue is this:

bob is the admin of 3 routers, he has the same console pass on each.

line con 0
password bobspass

He needs to give joe console access to just 1 router, but does not want to change his own console pass or share his password with joe.

I don't think I can create multiple passwords for console, should I just set it login local and create local users for them?

ie:

username bob privilege 15 password 0 bobpass
username joe privilege 15 password 0 joepass

The only issue I have with this is that I tested this on a lab setup and the passwords are cleartext in the config.

I would like to encrypt them with at least the weak hash (7) but I forget how.

Any tips?

You could also use secret instead of password as part of the username command.
username bob privilege 15 secret 0 bobspassword
