Switch/Router can only use PAP to communicate with IAS

I was securing my switches to allow users to login using radius and notice that I have to set the IAS server to PAP for the Cisco equipment to authenticate. Is there an alternative to this since PAP is clear text.

When using SSH to the switch for switch based authentication you need to

enable PAP on the Radius policy.

Telnet/SSH work on PAP only.
