For password-less logins without password prompt, use

the empty string <literal>""</literal>.
|

|
|

For logins with a fixed password (including the empty-string password with
|

|
prompt), use one of the un-hashed password options instead, such as
|
||||||
|
<option>users.users.<name?>.password</option>.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Such unprotected logins should only be used for e.g. bootable live systems.
