With the 1.0 release, a VM creation has the -login and --password option to ask for the user password to setup in the VM. You cannot add a default password and username in the configuration file and I think this is a good practice.

Your user myuser was setup with the password 4h$ChPhrttYksMa
Waiting for the vm to come online
